There's nothing big enough there to move hardware. It needs a Gran Turismo or an exclusive Final Fantasy or Monster Hunter or GTA and I don't think any of those are happening.

Maybe not, but in Japan at least there are a lot of titles that appeal. Shinovi shouldn't have been the seller it was based on the previous 3DS releases.
I hope E3 will reveal a solid lineup. The most important part now though will be a price drop in the West and a sorting out of Memory Card prices. General consensus seems to be that people are interested in Vita, but will not pay the current price for one.

I think Sony already blew their load in Japan the last two weeks though, that was it, Soul Sacrifice + Tales + PSO + price cut + new colors. I don't see anything on the horizon that's comparable to that.
The West is basically done with handhelds, I think that's the bigger issue, though Sony's not doing themselves many favors by having a pretty crap release schedule.
Even the 3DS is struggling in the West, Sony really doesn't have much hope, gaming handhelds as a concept are becoming a niche use device in the West just for kids and a tiny (but vocal) set of "hardcore players" that probably buy every game system.

wait for Pokemon. That'll do the West a lot of good, including getting me on board
