But Vita will likely still get Japanese support, so it'll become a haven for JRPGs, Strategy, and Action games like the 360 was for SHMUPs and VNs. 

Also, it's not difficult to do PS3/Vita versions of games, unless you don't consider that real software support.

If the Vita-debacle told us anything, it's that console games don't work on a handheld. Well they work technically, but nobody in the real world cares about those. CoD, Resistance, Assassin's Creed, Little Big Planet, Uncharted, Ridge Racer, Metal Gear Solid HD are already released and they did not move any hardware at all. That's why I am not too optimistic about Killzone for PSV either.

Eh, but CoD and Assassin's Creed bundles did move a lot of hardware. Both games sold much better than anyone expected.

Uncharted is also nearing a million physical sales (using VGC, and with digital it's way over). While Resistance and Ridge Racer flopped, I don't think all of those games support your argument.
