I have both. I bought 3ds March of last year and Vita 3 months later. I usually dont buy systems close to lauch but i foolishly thought the Vita would be backward compatible with the PSN store at least and i didnt feel like getting another PSP.

HW wise Vita blows 3ds out of the water. Its not even a contest.

As a media machine Vita puts 3ds to shame in just about every facet. 3ds JUST got youtube last week. Vita added a panaromic camera so that kind of elevates it above the 3ds one. The wifi is much better. Netflix looks better. vita has Skype, I tune radio, its just a cool piece of tech. But damn is it expensive. The only thing thats on 3ds that really wowed me is streetpass, i love that damn thing. Thats not to say i dont enjoy my 3ds i just use my vita more as it has more stuff and i have more games.

the games, subjective. But i bought more games for Vita than 3ds, hell for the first couple of months I only had MK7. Just got Tearaway and it is great. Their both good systems i just dont know why i prefer the vita library to 3ds. Maybe i dotn care about Pokemon enough.
