This is a Great Time to Buy a Vita

Not wanting to be mean, but no.If you want to buy a handheld console, there is no better time to buy a 3DS.Much betterquantity, much better quality, and will still get support for a year.

I'm not sure there's much difference in quantity. Vita has a tonne of games still on the way with more announced constantly. 2017 titles already being confirmed.

Quality is very much down to personal preference. I think the  software lineup on the Vita blows the 3DS out of the water in that regard. However someone who loves just playing Nintendo software will feel different.

I could see the 3DS releases stopping before the Vita's depending on Nintendo's timetable for a new handheld.

As for OP agree entirely. Definitely the cheaper handheld gaming option right now with many of Vita's games available for a very reasonable price.

Killzone: Mercenary is a portable experience of the like I'm not sure we'll see again.
