When will the Vita get THE game.

There is no "one" game. Metal Gear Solid 4 didn't propel the PS3 to its current sales position. It got there through a well-rounded library of games and a series of price drops/remodels. Its perceived value changed over the course of the generation. As far as games that could boost sales, Call of Duty might help. Sony needs to convince the general market that the Vita has a good amount of value. This means price drops, lots of AAA titles, and plenty of extra features. One game will never achieve all of that.

Don't entirely agree. Outside of Japan I think you're pretty much right. But outside Japan PSV is selling at a fairly sustainable 50% of 3DS. In Japan Vita is performing terribly against 3DS, and I think there is THE game that could bring popularity to Vita. Unfortunately that would be a MHP Vita exclusive title, which I don't think is gonna happen.

Interesting many of the posts in this thread are mentioning games that will not do much, or anything, for PSV in Japan.

I agree, Japan's the real issue for the Vita, but when NSMB2 and the 3DSXL launch in the same week, I think the Vita will be in even more trouble. Then it'll need something serious to help it, be it one massive game (like FFXV in Japan, or Gran Turismo), or a large library of games.
