It has the highest sales crown certainly wrapped up, not that it means anything.

Major sales lead to major devs releasing major games more often, which leads to more sales, and this to more games,.... etc.

Of course, but handhelds are a very different situation. I meant it as more in relavence to this thread which is designed to be a circlejerk. With how markets are working now, developers can market their game to specific fanbases and have a lot of success regardless of userbase size. The big indie game sales numbers for Vita proves this.

If you want Vita to be a half successful niche device, well, thats you, but i dont think most would agree, as sales prove. I think EVERYONE wants big names on Vita, same as WiiU, and they arent coming...difference is WiiU will get a plethora of 1st party games in the near future.

You misunderstand what I want with what I said. Even with a small userbase, every platform finds a niche. Despite the Gamecube being a complete flop sales-wise, it still had a good library. I'm sure the Wii U will develop a good library as well. You'd think that this past generation has shown that being the market leader doesn't always equal large support (I'm not directly comparing Wii to what will happen to 3DS, it's just not an absolute rule).
