I do not think Sony should ditch the Vita until developers and retailers do. Honestly Sony needs to make back its R&D and manufacturing costs. Now if Sony wants to save Vita they just need to bring some exclusives. I would argue GodOfWar:Ascension , Battle Royal should both be Vita exclusive. If not exclusive both games should have a ton of exclusive Vita content. Sony also needs Gran Turismo this winter. Monster Hunter 4 needs to be cancelled for 3DS and Sony receive it and all future handheld Monster Hunter games exclusively. A Sony/Square exclusive Final Fantasy would also be a good idea. An exclusive CoD game for Vita as well as an exclusive GTA and Assassins Creed. Exclusive entries in many of these series would benefit Sony greatly.
Of course a 50$ price cut would be nearly essential as well. If after all those moves the console is still struggling then a new Vita model will be necessary. A Vita phone would be the smart new model. Phone capabilities added to the device. Sony could get deals with phone carriers. People would buy Vita's in a second if they were free with 3 year contract. The new model could help Sony in shifting hardware. In the end the Vita could potentially still sell 24-million or so units if they can maintain the kind of sales they have had thus far. Without the piracy issue they might even be able to sell a good amount of software. Though of course at the moment the current Vita sales are not impressive
