There just aren't enough exclusives. All the unique games (Sound Shapes, Escape Plan, AC: Liberation, etc.) that SEEMED to be exclusives when first announced ended up coming out on other PS hardware as well. No one felt that they NEEDED to buy a Vita for any exclusive games.
Also, Sony really only ever seemed to push this console in NA. If there were huge, exclusive Japanese games (Monster Hunter, Persona, etc.) then the system could have really taken off in that region.
Lack of exclusives, particularly in Japan, have prevented Vita from ever becoming a big deal. As it stands, I'd be surprised to see it sell more units lifetime than PSP. This situation mirrors that of the PS3 release following the success of PS2.
