Since I think we're getting bogged down in personal preference which is not really all that important when we're talking about system popularity ...
There is a remarkable similarity between the "battle" between the PS-Vita and the 3DS as there was with the PSP and DS when you compare the two systems on paper, the main difference is something that is difficult to measure and that is a shift in expectations. While consumers, retailers, game publishers, and "journalists" bet against the Nintendo DS and for the PSP the reverse is true in this generation; and, since this momentium shift takes away benefits from the PS-Vita and shifts them to the 3DS, the net effect to the 3DS is double what the benefit was to the PSP.
