If you like Mario games, then the 3DS seems like a bit of a no-brainer purchase at $179. I don't really see it as much more than a handheld for playing Nintendo games, but that's really all the reason someone who enjoys Nintendo games needs.
If you really are a heavy PS3 user, then there are *potentially* a lot of reasons to pick up a PSV between Cross Play and Cross Buy. But even as someone who bought on on launch day and have already gleaned more use out of it than I did with the PSP (late buyer), unless there are titles immediately available worth buying a $250 handheld for, you may as well just wait until there are more titles, a price drop and all that Cross Buy/Cross Play stuff to kick in.
That said, it really is a fantastic piece of hardware and if I actually played handheld games for 30-60 minute sessions on a regular basis, I'd be using mine a lot more.
On a related note, I use the iPad more than any other device I own other than the MBP. Obviously not just for gaming.
