No. Brand name sells stuff and Nintendo is more of a household name than Playstation.

Vita has everything you need a portable console(and then some), all it needs is the great software to take advantage of it. There's not a lot Sony can do about this, all they can do is wait and see if the public notices how great it is. Marketing can only go so far.

Sure, because PlayStation is such a small brand now. Besides, it's software that sells hardware, not the brand name.

Do you even read what you type? First you say that the Vita needs great software to take advantage of it and then you immediately follow it up by saying that there's not much Sony can do about this. Well, how about Sony makes and releases great software that takes advantage of the Vita? It's their handheld, so it's their job to make the games that demonstrate the value of it.

They are doing that. Did you not look at the launch titles? Lots of great software there. It needs more than just Uncharted though. It need great 3rd party support. That's something they can't control. 3rd parties tend to only be interested in a console once it has a large install base. 

Both software and brand name sells consoles. Nintendo has both. Uncharted isn't a household name like Super Mario.
There are 3rd party titles like COD which are household names. These titles once release will definitely boost Vita sales. But this is an Activision title, so who knows how much effort they will put into it. Will they just port the DS version of COD or make a brand new experience?
