I don't understand how people say that Vita is having trouble because the games on it aren't really anything you couldn't find on a console.

I look at the games on 3DS that are propelling it's sales like Mario Land, Mari Kart, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.

What is so different about them in regards to Monster Hunter Tri, Mario Kart Wii, Resident Evil or Super Mario Bros. Wii that makes them "handheldized"? (Saw that word used and I liked it)

They all look like console games on a handheld to me, so shouldn't the 3DS be experiencing "PSP problems"?

There's more to it than that.

Some games are great on either home or handheld. Some could be 60/40, etc.

Exclusivity also play a big part. I.E. RE:R being (currently) exlusive on the 3DS. This larely depends on the game being great, though.

If you release the same game on both home and handheld when the home version is the definitive version. It's easy to figure out that the version that will sell.
