Contrary to popular belief the console does have a decent library of games that aren't just first party Nintendo stuff, with more on the way in the upcoming years.
With time and enough localizations I can see the Vita having its own role as a JRPG machine, although I have a suspicion it's gonna end up like the PSP, that is, you'll have to know Japanese in order to fully take advantage of its game library. For that reason I can definitely see myself considering picking one up in the future, but my initial pick was the 3DS... back during the last generation I got a DS Lite way before I got my PSP, so yeah. Oh and yeah I guess with the Vita you can play your dudebro games in bed. If you're into that.
But really, it all depends on your taste in games. I say look at both libraries and make up your mind based on that.
