It seems like me and the person I'm talking to have a good grasp on it which is what really matters... but if you insist...
Why is your other restaurant succeeding? Maybe that restaurant has much better chefs, and a better variety of food. Maybe your cooks for the other restaurant are world class chefs, and the cooks you have working on the food in the new restaurant are teenagers you hired of the street. The PS3 is succeeding because it has more games, better games, and Sony puts their top developers on PS3 project and generally uses second rate teams for Vita stuff. Maybe you're just trying to reheat leftovers from the other restaurant, and people find it icky. PS3 ports are not helping. Perhaps, if you put the same amount of effort into preparing the food in your new Mexican restaurant as you did in your old one, people would eat there. If Sony put the effort into the Vita that they do into the PS3, they could succeed in that market and wouldn't have to make laughable attempts like this to lure kids away from the 3DS.
Oh, and one more thing... the pizza place? They also have a bigger italian restaurant that's really popular. The Wii. In your successful restaurant, you already copied several of their most popular dishes. Sony has tried to make products based on Nintendo's popular ones. Some are pretty blatant rip offs (move) others are more original (LBP Karting) but at the end of the day they've all pretty much flopped. Each time you copied one of their dishes, nobody bought them. In fact, less than a year ago, you hired a team of chefs solely to replicate one of their most popular dishes. The results were so catastrophic that you had to fire the whole team after nobody wanted that dish. Sony assembled Superbot with the sole purpose of making a Smash Bros game for Sony. They marketed it as their big holiday release. The game flopped and Sony cut off all ties to Superbot. So, you know copying their food isn't the right way to go. You've tried it. A bunch of times. And it didn't work. But, since your other restaurant at least had good food to start with, it didn't hurt them too much. This restaurant is struggling and needs to build a reputation for its own food before trying to copy the other restaurant. Sony has tried to copy other more popular games/hardware (not just from Nintendo) and make it into a hit for them. It doesn't work. Sony needs to focus on what they do well, and develop those kinds of games for the Vita. Why not have Naughty Dog and other top developers work on Vita projects? Partner with activision to get a *good* COD for the Vita? Work with Rockstar to get some GTA games on the Vita like they did with the PSP? There are definitely more productive things Sony could be doing with their time than trying to convince 10 year old girls that the Vita is a better system for them than the 3DS.
