Vita equals PS3 port, which is something developers just started to get a hang of by the end of the PS3 life time along with being the cheaper option for the strong Sony fan base in Japan.
Also as succssor to the PSP, it is home to a bunch of more PC like games such as visual novels and more indie affairs. So while the 3DS may sell more systems, the Vita offers the ability much like the PSP did for PS2 developers, to use older and now cheaper development tools and a built in fanbase that links to the PSP.
