Vita is basically PSP2, but 3DS can be a PSP2 in it's own way, in addition to be a DS2. I'll elaborate.
Recently I've been playing 7th Dragon III: Code VFD. A sequel to PSP's 7th Dragon 2020 and 7th Dragon 2020-II, being a direct continuation story wise. What a weird and sudden shift of consoles, not the first for the series, but still. I think they did it, so they could use the same engine and some assets, cause moving to vita would blow out the budget, cause there they would have to start from scratch.
I think the same happened to Monster Hunter, and there are some cases of PSP to 3DS ports, like CRUSH or Gurumin. Also cancelled, Resident Evil Portable apparently was reborn as REvelation. Makes sense since hardware capabilities, screen resolution and even control methods are approximately the same. Only two shifts and only one stick, or rather some sliding pad thingie.
