1. Yes, but the Vita doesn't have Streetpass to encourage taking it with you out of the house, which I've found has genuinely increased my playtime and enjoyment of the 3DS
2. True, but the 3DS seems to have more and better quality; Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, New Super Mario Bros. 2, Epic Mickey: Power Of Illusion, Rayman 3D, Sonic Lost World and Super Mario 3D Land are all great games. Sure the Vita has Tearaway and Sly Cooper 4 which are fantastic, and games like Rayman Origins are far better on the Vita, but I still think Super Mario 3D Land is the best platformer on a handheld to date, and 3DS still has a far larger selection of great games in this genre.
3. You can yes, but only really PSOne games, which is great and was one of my reasons to buy a Vita; but if you're wanting old 8-bit retro gaming the 3DS is the place to be.
4. It does but only if you could old PSOne PSN games. The 3DS has far more new RPGs and remakes that revitalise the old game, rather than straight downloadable ports, especially if you count the DS library which thanks to the 3DS being backwards compatible I think is perfectly reasonable.
So yeah. All good points... in fact I tend to agree than the Vita is the better system, but I feel the 3DS is the better handheld because it's lends itself to being taken out of the house moreso than the Vita. I play my Vita more than my 3DS but if I'm going out the system I reach for is the 3DS 9 times out of 10.
