This is a Great Time to Buy a Vita

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.

Well, as you said it comes down to personal preferences.I believe that 3DS have better quality in every type of genre that the Vita also has, with some exception(with the exception being shooters).RPGs have a better quality, platformers too, adventures games, visual novels, etc.And the part to "just playing Nintendo games" is simply wrong in my opinion.That is true for the console part, but for the handheld that is false.There is great third party support on it, and in some instances is better than the first party.This year we are getting two Dragon Quests, a Monster Hunter, a Phoenix Wright, Zero Time Dillema, and so on.

But again, its down to personal preference.

 

3DS is lacking in driving games too (my favourite genre) while the Vita is pretty well represented.

As for the other genres, we could argue all day and never agree. Especially RPGs and Visual Novels I'd say the Vita trumps the 3DS. Platformers is pretty split. The reason said Nintendo games, is because it's their platformers that draw me to the 3DS.

 

What strategy games have I missed on 3DS? I don't know, just overall I think the Vita has a much better rounded software lineup with a greater depth.

 

But Nintendo's best 3DS titles are something the Vita can't touch.

 

Mentioning zero time dilemma does give me the feeling you might be quite unaware of a lot of the Vita lineup.
