PS vita's problem is the same one that plagued the PS3 for the first few years. It's price point, once it got the price cuts it sales picked up considerably, games helped to achieve greater sales too |
One could argue that the Ps3 managed to survive becuase of the Ps2's dominance and glaring reputation from the past gen. PSVita doesnt have thisfrom Psp. Even if it did, it could have been gone since the release of Pspgo I believe.

Nope. PS3 managed to survive because of lots of price cuts and the Slim redesign + games like Uncharted and all the great 3rd party games like Call of Duty.
The user above you is right. Price point is really important for handhelds especially since its not a phone.

IMO PS3 survived thanks to the "ecosystem" that PC, PS3 and X360 belong to. If the third parties only had exclusive options (develop for Wii, develop for X360, develop for PS3 or develop for PC) I'm sure the HD twins would have died long ago, but the install base of the HD twins + PC made it the de facto platform for third parties.
