The comparison isn't really that valid unless SCE ships the as of yet to be released PS4 with a PSV as a standard package, which has about as much of a chance as happening as the Wii-U controller being redesigned and specified as a standalone device that has full functionality when separated and/or disconnected from the console home unit.
Functionally, yes; the PSV can be used as a PS3 satellite controller with far more functionality than the Wii-U controller, but that's not relevant because no developers, including SCE studios are going to design a game that requires both hardware platforms to be purchased in order to play a specific game. Cross platform licensed games are about it, and those will be designed to play on either device separately. Any additional play mode that integrates both devices into the UI of a given title would have to be one of those neat features that are likely to be very cool, but not used by the majority of players.
Of course, if the userbase overlap between the PS3 and PSV becomes large enough, then there will be a significant enough market to justify the additional development costs of such games, but it's way too premature to be counting those chickens.
