To state a few obvious points:

1. I am not sure what world exists where you can trade in a used 3DS for a Vita.
2. There are way more games available for the 3DS, and way more games scheduled for release on it.
3. The quality of games on 3DS is higher than on Vita; just look at review scores.
4. Saleswise, the 3DS is solid, but the Vita isn't looking like a system that developers might consider supporting by sometime next year.

When it comes to RPGs, I would hazard an educated guess and say that the 3DS will succeed the DS in being the top platform for the genre this generation.


I'd argue that the PSP was king of RPGs last gen and if you've not had a PSP or played the RPGs, the Vita is a great place for them (much nicer screen) and so Vita is already the main handheld RPG system at the moment IMO.

I'm honestly struggling to find much on 3DS though I do need to get Kid Icarus. (Already got Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart along with about 12 other 3DS games).

The Vita sadly isn't much better right now, but I think to say the quality of games are better on 3DS is just plain wrong. There's nothing on 3DS that can touch Uncharted, Unit 13, Wipeout, Gravity Rush etc. Just like Sony currently has nothing to touch Mario 3D Land. But depending on the genres you like. I think most people would actually find more of interest on Vita than 3DS, and this is coming from a life long Nintendo fan.
