I think Vita's similarity to smartphones and price actually will hurt it... however, the cheaper (now) 3DS with typical IPs will allow it to coincide and continue the separation between game consoles and more computer like devices.
I know I'd consed a 3DS over a Vita for my kids any day.
...and most people old enough to want a $250 handheld will have or also want a smartphone.... indirect competition.
