Part of it is they've been waiting for the Vita 2000 to release ever since the announcement in early September, and part of it is Monster Hunter and soon Pokemon (and 3DS as a result for several tens of thousands) sucking the funds out of everything else.
You probably won't see the Vita, or really any other non 3DS console, bounce back until at least mid November at the earliest. They may even be snuffed out of the holidays entirely.
