Vita has more retail titles announced for Q1 in Japan (19) than 3DS has (5). So if the vicious circle is happening, it hasn't started quite yet.
It helps, however, that the 3DS' lineup includes 3 huge Japanese franchises (Dragon Quest; Dragon Ball; Super Robot Wars), with the big daddy on the horizon (Monster Hunter).
Vita sales will pick up in Japan. Particular from the week starting February 28th to the end of March, imo. How high they'll get is another story. If Persona 4 can spike it up to 35k and Miku can spike it up to 55k then I'm sure we'll be seeing some higher weeks.
Nothing will be sustained until a price cut though. The sooner the better, particularly for Japan.
