If the Vita would have blasted off into space and killed all 3DS sales, the Vita fans would all be marching 'round the campfire hootin' and hollerin' about how the Vita crushed the 3DS - and they would have let everyone know it, too.
But the reverse happened - the 3DS crushed the Vita. It's not that Sony botched the launch or did something wrong, it's that consumers are allocating their money to the 3DS INSTEAD of the Vita.
The poor Vita sales are a SYMPTOM of a larger problem for Sony - consumers are buying SOMETHING ELSE.

It's the same thing they did with the PSP, they are trying to put Console games on a portable. Which does not work, at all. Even though the PSVITA has analog controls, or a OLED screen, or a bigger data capacity it still doesn't mean Sony should put any console game on it. The reason why Nintendo has always won is because they have mastered this. (agreed with your comment.)

I disagree. There IS room for console games on a portable. But of course that portable also needs exclusive original games. A port machine just won't cut it.
The PSP sold over 70million. There is a market for people wanting console-like games on-the-go. The reason the PSP failed in its last few years is because...
-Piracy was so bad that many 3rd parties stopped supporting it
-Console games grew too big or to complex to be ported to the PSP
-DS domination all over the world made developers prefer that over the PSP
-Most imporrant of all was the lack of a 2nd analog stick or good online capabilities.
The Vita is everything the PSP should have been. People just need to know about it so they go out and buy it.

Hmm, hard to dis-agree with someone who has a great Avatar... but I, sort of, dis-agree. The reason why Nintendo dominates the handheld market is because of its pick-up-and-play games for its handelds. Most people would much rather have that on a handheld than "console" games. But, of course, some long story game are needed for the handheld to. Just not too many.
