Even if you prefer AAA games on handhelds buying a 3DS is certainly a better choice than the Vita as it already has more interesting ones (FE, RER, MH3 and 4, SMT4, KI...) and it will continue thanks to much better sales and a way better installed base. If you plan to use your handheld only at home like most hanhelds players then the WiiU is an even better solution to play these kind of games with ports of big games that the Vita doesn't get. If you prefer creative games the 3DS again is a much better offering with all the Nintendo games on retail or eshop.

So really there is pretty much no point to buy a Vita as there are better alternatives whatever the kind of games you are interested in and as the platform is pretty much already dead commercially. It's a shame but Sony did so much mistakes in the conception and planning of this console than it's the harsh reality now and there is not a lot to hope in the future.
