At this rate, the only systems that are going to matter in Japan will be the PS3, 3DS, and hopefully the Wii U. The Vita has never outsold the 3DS almost a year after release, fact. From the looks of it, Animal Crossing alone trumps the entire holiday lineup for the Vita. And the 3DS won't exactly falter next year; Monster Hunter 4 alone will ensure that.
At this point, the Vita needs something big, but all the big existing handheld IPs are either owned by Nintendo or are otherwise on the 3DS. Console ports could help, ala Persona 4, but that won't save it. Soul Sacrifice is promising, but can that alone save the system? Maybe the Vita would be better served aiming for Western audiences.
Oh, and Wii? Please hurry up and get replaced.
