Price, memory cards and games for PSV is what Sony must work on EVERYWHERE, not only in America. But this Xmas most resources are on PS4 launch, so PSV could have to wait for Xmas 2014 and need a restyling and a new launch campaign to hype it enough. Using many standard smartphone and tablet components with few customisations, PSV will be fine on profitability and Sony will be able to drop its price without any problems (its estimated BoM was $160 in January 2012, so in mid 2014 it should be dirt cheap to build), this will allow Sony to keep it on the market even with low sales, but it will need a relaunch and serious support, sooner or later, if Sony doesn't want to give up almost all it achieved in the portable market with PSP. Also, Xmas 2014 is the last call, after that PSV will be able to survive only as a low-cost niche portable. It won't die,anyway, unless Sony kill it.
