The 3DS XL is a must if you want for a handheld gaming for this generation, its a good alternative if you got bored of console gaming or just want a system to play in the outdoors.

-weight and design
Yep its slightly heavier, 235 grams to 336 grams, you can feel the difference from noth of them but I still carry my XL everyday with me For the design, its quite great for those who have big hands, I find it more comfortable holding since it perfectly fits to my hands.

-screen
Screen resolution is as same as 3DS but there isn't much trouble when i triend both systems under the sunlight, just turn it on full brightness should fix it.
The screen for PSV is obviously way better since its a OLED screen.

-3D
Yeah you will get headache for the first few time playing it (i been there ) but you will slowly get used to it by trying the lowest settings of the 3D effect first but personally, I prefer turning it off/lowest effect or sometimes full blast it when the 3D effects actually worth's the battery drainage.

-Games
ow wow, Nintendo opened the flood gates for the 3DS lineup, http://www.nintendolife.com/3ds/games, from Nintendo exclusive like Zelda, mario, pokemon, kirby etc etc, to 3rd parties like Bravery default, Animal Crossing, Prof layton, Ace attorney, street fighter, solid snake 3d, fire emblem, one piece, sonic, Shin Megami Tensei, fifa 13, Metal Gear Solid 3D, tekken 3D, Monster Hunter and others too much to list out and its also backward compatible too all DS games so yeah, entertainment couldn't be stop. Oh there's also the virtual console section which you can buy really old games virtually from the NES era to Gameboy titles for the nostalgia
PSV got some great lineups but isn't par as the 3DS... Persona 4 golden, Tearaway, Rayman Legends are my favorites


In the end its all up to your decision, so have fun gaming
