For Japan, Captivate next month is to me the last hope. You can't do well there without capcom support, Well you can, but you must be Nintendo. Also needs Level 5 and Square-enix support. TGS is too late to announce things, as they'll be all for 2013, and 2D Mario and Monster Hunter 4 will make this 7:1 beating into a 20:1 massacre easily.

But while SCEA and SCEE are doing good jobs (since to me Sony is not a japanese developer anymore), SCEJ is a disaster, so it's hard to have hope.

Agree to an extent, launching with FIFA and Uncharted was a good move... not sure it has paid off though? 

Yes, it had. I say this all the time. Vita will not beat the 3ds, or even PSP - PSP was supposed to be PS2 portable, it started hyped as hell - but will show healthy numbers in the west slowly crawling to PSP numbers all its life. It won't be outsold 7:1 by the 3DS ever in the US or Europe because of these games. And it won't lack big games ever too (at the very minimum it will have sony's big franchises - which are all western - with it). It'll be a viable second place. In japan it's not being viable, it's being killed.
