I think the Vita is fantastic in theory. But in execution, it fails hard. I look at the list of games available and the only ones I have any interest in are ports. I don't buy systems for ports. That's just silly. The rest are a bland mix of sub-par titles or genres that I have zero interest in.
In my view 3DS offers real gaming experiences, while Vita offers ports or watered-down versions of franchise games. Nobody is putting any real effort into developing decent games for Vita(blame Sony for this-it has to start with them), while 3DS has an exciting future ahead of it. So when I went to buy a handheld(after not actually owning one since GBC - though I spent ample time with the others), I got the 3DS.
