PS Vita isn't a 'very strong product', claims Miyamoto

That isn't the whole reason. 3DS and Vita just don't seem to have much appeal in the West. Other than the Mario Games. Japan has many more games than the West does so it is doing better over there. USA isn't bad but Europe is horrible. (Despite it being near US's sales.) It should pick up this Holiday, a lot, though.

Yeah, but why doesn't it appeal to the western market?? except that there's no games out yet (except, like, 4 AWSEOME games)?

I think this should sum it up:

 

- Overpriced hardware <--- Rectified

- Lack of high quality games

- 3D is not as popular as they thought it would be by now. Perhaps even less popular than it was back then

- Expensive software, unlike smartphones (and homeconsoles where the price is actually justifiable). This goes for the "cheap" downloads and Virtual Console as well

- Bad reputation (screen scratching, get sick by watching 3D images, lack of second circle pad, near-useless web-browser)

 

More or less.
