That ratio looks better than I'd have thought for Vita (even allowing for the Dec launch, which I think doesn't matter for something so new without a killer app) given DS/PSP install base locally.
Looking at ratio of 3DS/DS now vs Vita PSP/Vita now it's pretty clear that while most demand has shifted to the new Nintendo handheld plenty of demand for Sony handhelds remains with the PSP - I wonder if Sony will take the slow approach to letting them crossover? I'm not sure it's the best thing for them but they seemed to take a similar view with PS3 vs PS2 initially.
Just as with 3DS I expect Vita to look weak unless/until Sony produce some seriously attractive apps locally. Overall the library seems more attractive to West than East it seems to me at the moment.
Still, I feel comforted to know which device is now officially "doomed" at this point.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
