Third party publishers in the west only really care about home consoles and smart-phones. There is no room or resources left over for the Vita. The larger Japanese publishers--well, really, who knows what the hell they're thinking, they make questionable business moves as a matter of course. As a group, they tend to be very short-sighted.
The big beneficiaries of this so far have been those smaller Japanese developers who have taken the chance. They've done quite well, for the most part.
