I wouldn't rely so much on developers in an era where a game can sell 5 million copies and still not be considered successful by its publisher.
First and foremost, the console has to be profitable for Sony -- not necessarily in strictly financial terms.
I suppose that's about it. Of course, there's more to the situation than simply "success" or "failure." Selling 50 million consoles might be a success, but selling 100 million would be more successful. And if the Vita only manages to scrape by with the bare minimum of what is necessary to be called a success, it's not very much of a success.
