I think there's a bigger market for the 3DS.
The simple truth of the matter is, the 3DS will remain the portable platform of choice for families with small children. And while I see more and more small children playing with iPads and iPhones, it's pretty reasonable to assume they don't actually belong to these children but their parents.
About the only trend that will trump the 3DS will be if the general public no longer sees value in $20-40 portable games and instead continues to support the sub $10 games that make up the majority of those available on iOS and Android devices.
Additionally, as much as some people like to think that price doesn't matter; it does. A $250 3DS compared to a $250 PSV was a bad comparison. Nintendo was wise to drop price and by so much well in advance of the PSV debut. Given the difference in price to produce ($100 vs $200-300), Nintendo has much more leeway when it comes to pricing.
SCE really hasn't done much to market the PSV in North America either. I'm of the notion that your average person probably thinks it's another version of the PSP.
