I think you miss the mark slightly. After all, once a game is completed and rinsed of whatever joy it holds, very few people really need, or even want, to 'keep' a game. And, if someone desperately did want to 'keep' a title for whatever odd reasons may be imagined, the game can just be bought, often at a PS+ discount. But I've never felt the need to do this, and I doubt many others will.
That aside, as far as I can see the point being made above is slightly different. In short: for the cost of a single game you can play about 20 or so games a year on Vita (as well as other services), so why bother buying any more games for it?
It's a very good question. I have a Vita, and I see no need to buy games for it because I'm on PS+ already from the PS3. Every month new games arrive. I play them for a while, then typically delete them to make space for what comes next. It's a spiffy service, and I'm very pleased with it, primarily because I get to play tons of games and it's costing me no more money than I was already spending. For me, it really feels like a 'free' service on Vita because I paid for the PS+ sub for PS3.
As I'm sure can be seen, Sony gets very little money out of me from the Vita, even though I game on it a lot. Is that a problem for Sony? I dunno. You'd have to ask them. Certainly not a problem for me, though. I spend no more cash and get a shed-load of games. Brilliant.
