Sony is not paying enough attention to what makes Nintendo's handheld line so popular. What sells like crack on Gameboy/3/DS?
-Pokemon/Pokemon
-Mario
-Platform Zelda/Metroid/Castlevania
-Puzzle like Prof Layton Games.

Ok, now take a look at those Sony. I would KILL for an at least DECENT Pokemon clone on a PS handheld. NiNoKuni would have been a great one. If the PS3 version is successful, I would hope they could work something out to lock that down as a future Vita entry. At least Sony has Little Big Planet which is a great answer to Mario. God of War is a pretty good answer to Zelda. They need to get on coming up with a Prof Layton/ace attorney souless rip off as well.

If they could do these I think the Vita would be on the right track.

Actually the problem is that none of these is a great answer to anything Nintendo has. And all of them, except your proposed Prof Layton ripoff, are more prominent on consoles anyway and they'd jut fall in line with the complaints about the PSP and Vita about having "watered-down console spinoffs". The Vita needs new IPs to set it apart, not the same IPs that are better on consoles that you can just get on the PS3.

Well the reality of the entire debacle is that NOTHING is the caliber of Mario and friends, Nintendo has just been in the game for too long and mass appeal of their mascots is just too well known. Its an uphill battle regardless, well known IP or New IP be damnded. All Sony can do is experiment with doses of BOTH(See my comment above this one). The mimic titles satiate those who pine for what is already coming to the "other" camp and the established IPs keep the hardcore and loyal fanbases happy.
