PSP has been selling pretty poorly in North America for years now. Not sure why the Vita was going to suddenly change that.
The problem Sony has is they're making a handheld aimed at older male users (age 16-30+ I think it what they're going for). The problem is that demographic just doesn't want a game-only handheld over here.
I don't even think it's really a software issue, when you are selling at this level, there is something fundamentally wrong with your entire product.
The smartphone era has just obliertated whatever market there was for game handhelds here I think. Nintendo is throwing everything they can at the 3DS just to keep it treading water ($80 price cut, ambassador games, Mario Kart, SM3DL, NSMB2, some OK third party stuff (Resi Evil), XL redesign, bundles, different colors, etc. etc.).
