Both systems provided a nice initial 'wow' factor. Seeing nearly PS2-quality graphics on a handheld in 2004 was mind-blowing when the previous standard was SNES and the main competition was N64-level. The first time I ever saw the glasses-free 3D in action was similarly mind-blowing. I'll never forget trying that demo of Street Fighter 4 3D.
For me the deciding factor is that I prefer Nintendo games to Sony games, so I'd rather spend my time on Mario 3D Land and Fire Emblem Awakening than on God of War and GTA.
