To counter that what willnmake the 3DS turn around in the West? You got to admit that the vita seems poised to have a lot of Westernized games. While the 3DS has already showed us its cards. Why wouldn't the west choose the vita?

Do Western games even matter that much in the handheld market?  What Western developer really puts effort into that market?  I don't really follow the handheld market as much as consoles, so I could be mistaken.  But my impression is that most handheld games from Western developers are all either ports or another tie-in with the real game, which is on the consoles and/or PC.
