Much like the PSP the PS-Vita's greatest "advantage" is also its greatest "weakness" in that the additional processing power of these systems over their competition requires more resources and longer development times to take advantage of it. With the 3DS having as large of a headstart as it has, the PS-Vita may need to stay far closer in yearly sales than the PSP did in order to maintain a similar level of industry support; and maintain their marketshare.

Having only launched in Japan, and having not seen any major releases, it is far to early to make any predictions about the PS-Vita, but Sony can't really afford to wait years for demand to pick up for the PS-Vita if it struggles to take off in any region.
