Which is better: 3ds or PS Vita? (not a review)

Hey guys! This time, I have another forum-like topic for you: which would you buy- a ps vita or nintendo 3ds? Well, I was wondering which one to put on my Christmas list, and thought that maybe you guys could help!

First of all, I am kind of leaning towards the 3ds, because it has really fun mario and pokemon games that can be played on it, as well as being able to play ds games as they are still in that chip like thing. I've also heard that some of the games that are on it do really well at integrating the 3d function of the device into them, and this is also ultimately what my friends have, so if I ripped open a present containing one of these, I could hook up with two of my friends at church with mariokart 7. That would be really fun.

Next, I have seen youtube videos promoting that you can hook up a ps vita to a ps3 and download a game that has previously been downloaded from the PSN and actually play it on your vita! This would definitely be the primary reason why the vita is still such a viable option in my view. Also, it has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera for taking pictures (this resolution is startling for a dedicated gaming device, it is as much as my galaxy tab 3 8.0's rear facing camera's resolution!), which makes for another cool pro for this one. I think it is also much faster when connecting to wi-fi than the 3ds. Another major factor with this device is it has twin joysticks, which allow for much better first-person shooter games, like resistance: burning skies, killzone: mercenary, and black ops 2 declassified (even though it got really crappy reviews on IGN, something like 2.5). It also has an OLED screen and an intuitive touch display.

So what do you guys think? I would prefer to get opinions from those of you that have tried or own both devices, and love to hear what you guys think in my blog. See ya later. ;P
