It's going to do fine then going by previous examples this gen:
3DS - doomed right after launch
Wii - doomed multiple times
360 - doomed multiple times
PS3 - doomed multiple times
So far every device released from around 360 onwards has managed to dissapoint early and be declared "doomed" only to stablize, find it's feet and actually do well enough relative to the market and the devices price/strenghs.
Personally I'm calling nothing on the Vita for a while yet.
I've said it before and I'm going to say it again - too many people think that a new, hyped device is going to dominate immeduately on release. Few do, and for a while in electronics the only ones that have are Apple branded for the most part.
Most new devices get a quick peak of interest, then drop off as early services/content is actually normally weak, then if the services/content stablize the device does to. Depending on how well the stabilization goes the device may then take off. It might be that, as with the 3DS before it, the Vita needs more than just services/content but a price cut to really enable it to fly - but right now it's too early to tell.
I also think people are expecting too much of holiday sales for a new device. At holidays people tend to buy more established or super hot devices, not one as new as Vita. The 3DS with key titles, even the PSP, were all better purchases in many ways than a Vita at this stage and the local market clearly knows it.
Now it's up to Sony to make Vita worth owning as they stablize the devices services/content.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
