Honestly, I see nothing wrong with a blogger posting an article they wrote for disscussion on a forum if they're honest about it ...
With that said, this article doesn't seem to be available and (from the title) I don't think its premise is correct. Over an entire generation, the PS3 and XBox 360 have seen several price cuts and agressive bundling to encourage people to buy their system. At their peak, the PS3 and XBox 360 were able to sell at roughly twice the rate they did initially; which was their low point in terms of sales. Even with double the sales for hardware, the PS-Vita's sales would be very low compared to successful systems.
To make matters worse, the PSP brand has an awful track record for selling games. Even with a much larger userbase, the PS3 and XBox 360 were each able to sell 2 to 5 times as much software as the PSP in 2009 through 2011; and in 2011 the PSP didn't have a single game that was in the top 100 game sales for the year. The PS-Vita doesn't appear to be changing this, there hasn't been a single third party game to sell more than 500,000 units and the vast majority of games have sold (far) less than 250,000 units. I can't imagine many publishers are pushing to get more development teams working on bigger/better projects for the PS-Vita; so it is unlikely that the PS-Vita will have a very strong library 12 to 24 months from now.
