lol, it is too early to give it up. Look at what happened to the PS3, back in 2006-2007 everyone was spelling its doom and today it is a very well stabilished console. Not marketleader but easily the best console for many players.

The worst part of a console cycle is its launch, where it is most expensive, has few games, is least known.

Holidays are coming, big titles are coming for the Vita, it will do just fine. If all worst comes to worst, Sony can still drop its price.

Not all is lost. It sold 8.8k units in Japan last week, this week it sold 11K. It went up without any new releases. Compare it to the Xbox 360 who sold not even 1K and you see it's not as bad as people are saying.

The problem is that Sony is not the same Sony that launched the PS3 in terms of financial health.  Secondly, the PSV lacks the developer support selling such a mediocre amount of systems even compared to how the PS3 launched; unless Sony is willing to throw money at developers to make games that have a risk of losing money or little chance of return.
