Not developing new IP for the portable market during the PSP era.

This is really what killed the Vita. It relied on 3rd party support, just like the PSP, but that was not enough in a shrinking market. Especially with adults switching to smartphones, Sony had nothing to appeal to kids.

While the PSP was still a strong brand, they should have invested in existing multimedia IP or developed their own using their assets in film and anime production. That is, if they were serious about the portable market.

Edit:  Jesus Christ.  I'm talking about LARGE, MEANINGFUL MULTIMEDIA IP that can move a system, not obscure niche releases.  IP that would prove they were serious about the market.
