so the vita crashed and burned already? and i thought the console has just been a year on the market

In this short time it already managed to miss its original forecast, its revised forecast and the revision of the revised forecast. It's selling at a rate of less than half of what Sony expected, so calling it a failure isn't really premature anymore, unless there are/will be signs of a huge turnaround in 2013.

AAA software and bundles/ price cuts will go a long way towards turning the Vita into a viable successor to PSP.  PSP wasn't exactly a sales monster outside of Japan, it's not like it'll be that difficult to improve the sales situation.  Sony should lower the price of Vita games to $34 or $30 instead of $40 or $50.  That would help a lot.
