Would it really increase localization chance if they just moved the same games off PSP to another system? I think there's a lot more factors to consider for localization than just the platform it's on.

Yes, absolutely. That doesn't mean every game would be localized, but publishers consider the PSP dead in the West at this point. Not even SE wants to release FF Type-0 for it, while it would be a guaranteed release on 3DS or Vita.

I recall that one of the big issues publishers/localizers in the West see with the PSP was indeed the piracy situation, consequently killing game sales for the system. It's just not worth the money to localize and bring to market. So that really would be another reason to get off PSP, aside from the obvious improvements the new systems bring to the table.
