@Scisca:
okay, lets look at 3rd parties real quick:

Vita:
1. FIFA Soccer (.37mil)
2. Rayman Origins (.25)
3. Persona 4 (.24)
4. Assassins Creed (.22)
5. Hatsune Miku (.20)
Average: .256mil

3DS
1. Monster Hunter 3G (1.60)
2. Kingdom Hearts (.95)
3. Dragon Quest Monsters (.91)
4. Super Street Fighter IV (.86)
5. (skipping Mario and Sonic) Lego Star Wars (.65)
Average: .994mil

in fact, there are thirteen 3rd party 3DS games that sold more than the top selling vita 3rd party game. That'll be a tough sell for Sony...

I personally wouldn't count MH, cause this game would sell like crazy in Japan even if released on a refrigerator display screen. It sells on 3DS, it would sell on Vita as well. 3rd party devs won't buy into an argument like "3rd party games do well on 3DS, just look at MH". If you compare the same titles on both consoles, you get Rayman Vita 0.25 and Rayman 3DS 0.52, so nothing huge.

Add to this the fact that 3DS games on your list have been out for quite a while, while AC:L has been out for 3 weeks, Persona is also new, it isn't even out in Europe. CoD will probably make the top 5 3rd party games soon as well, so this list will start to look better. Obviously Nintendo is ahead, but if you compare it to the 8:1 hardware ratio, you see that 3rd parties aren't really selling great on 3DS. There is space for Sony to fight here, but they need to start to be aggressive and well... they also finally need some luck.

So what you wanna see is the "Top 10 best selling 3rd party games on the 3DS vs 3rd party games on Vita in 2012"!?

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
