What types of games do you like?

This, this, and this.  In your OP you state you're not interested in any of the PS Vita offerings and you go into detail about why you don't like JRPG's, but you don't tell us what you actually do like.  It's hard to convince you of something if we don't know what kind of things you like playing.

If you say there aren't any games you want, then I do believe you, because that depends on the person.  Don't buy a console when there are no games you want on it.  But I feel there is a good representation of a number of genres on the console.

For me personally, I like a little big of everything and Vita seems good for this: platformers (LittleBigPlanet, Rayman Origins); racing games (WipEout 2048, Need for Speed: Most Wanted); action-adventure games (Gravity Rush; Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation); shooters (Uncharted: Golden Abyss; Unit 13).  The only genre I feel is under-represented for the time being is JRPG's, which is a big deal, but Persona 4 in March will do for now :)

The kicker for me was PSP compatibility.  I didn't own a PSP, so having a library-full of those games on PSN compatible with dual analogue and on the OLED screen convinced me of a sale.  I knew anything that I felt was missing (such as JRPG's) I could just fill with stuff from last gen.  Obviously, this wouldn't work for a person who owned a PSP.  But just a little food for thought.

edit: Oh and when Sony announced cross-buy of games I was already planning on buying (Ratchet & Clank; Sly Cooper; Playstation All-Stars), that was just another reason for me to buy.

Pretty much every kind of game excluding most JRPG's and RTS.  Every other genre I'm good with.
