Really both handhelds are pretty pathetic, I own both and I am quite disappointed in both. The amount of support they both get is pretty pathetic. Nintendo has basically been a mario factory for the 3DS, and the mario games they have released have sucked. Sony has nothing other than tearaway and killzone on the horizon. After that the Vita will pretty much be dead in the water. The 3DS has no meaningful support on the horizon either.

I don't think any of your assertions are fair.  Yeah, 3DS has mario, but it's nintendo's mascot, of course it does.  Even if you take away all the mario games on the system, it's still got Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Kid Icarus, Theatrythm, Star Fox, and Resident Evil, all essential titles no matter who you ask.  

Vita also has Soul Sacrifice, Final Fantasy X HD, and an inevitable entry in the ratchet and clank, god of war, jak and daxter, infamous, Grand Theft Auto, and Sly Cooper series'. Both systems are going to do just fine. clearly 3DS is going to kick Vita's ass in sales, but that's not to say the Vita is going to fail.  

Too much mario is bad. I feel that nintendo is over saturating him. They have always managed to give me just enough Mario, now they are swamping me with him. Get some other of your franchises on their. Zelda and Starfox are remakes, and are thus void. The only saving grace the 3DS has is RE:R and KI:U, which are two fantastic games, but I want more. Paper Mario was a major letdown, Luigi's Mansion looks like it's going to be a let down. You know, what more is there to say? I've been very dissapointed. 

 

As for the Vita: Many of those franchises you stated are not inevitable: Infamous, jak and daxter,grand theft auto. None of those are guaranteed, and the last two are not even probable. The Vita is selling like it causes cancer,and it has very little support on the way. Also, games like Sly are straight up ports. I have a PS3 thank you very much. I love my vita, but it's time to get nervous my friend.

You're just very negative.  your type isn't exactly fun to be around.  me?  I'm eagerly anticipating every major new release for Vita and 3DS. Innocent until proven guilty, I say!  

And too much mario?  Nobody's making you buy it.  They could release a new mario every month of the year, as long as they keep releasing other games, too.  Now, if they were releasing mario games and nothing else, that COULD be an issue, but Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, and Kid Icarus alone are three absolute must have titles that are NOT Mario.  I'd also like to personally include Theatrythm Final Fantasy in that mix, since it was a truly wonderful game and deserves everyone's attention.
