Nobody said it was a terrible system.
As for the PSP, it did best in 2005, 2007, and 2008 in the United States, 2006 to 2008 in Europe, and 2007, 2008, and 2010 in Japan, with Global totals being best in 2007 and 2008.
In short, by this point in the PSP's life compared to the Vita's life, it was performing near or at peak in the West. Only in Japan did the PSP take a real while to gain momentum, becaause that's how long it took for Monster Hunter to become a huge franchise there.
Critically speaking, we can use MetaCritic as a guide, at least for the West.The following are the number of games with a score of at least 75
*2005 - 23
*2006 - 44
*2007 - 26
*2008 - 16
*2009 - 28
*2010 - 22
*2011 - 17
Even with the rise of digital-only games later on (including OMG-Z, 2011's top PSP game), the PSP's support obviously hit its high point in its second full year, 2006. The Vita's equivalent year is 2013, aka now. In other words, if history repeats itself, this is as good as the Vita's gonna get in terms of quality releases per year.
Love and tolerate.
