If Sony threw money at the problem and convinced Rockstar to make a Vita version of GTA it would cause ripples. An actually good version of CoD would be another huge boost. Totally appreciate that a "good CoD" is a paradox for most people but the old crap Vita version sold 500k in the USA which is huge (for the Vita).
Releasing the new Vita 2000 would give a temporary boost, as it did in Japan, I think a bit of internal memory is really important because it's stupid that you can't even play cartridge games without a memory card in the current Vita. I don't see the value in pushing the Vita TV. Chromecast/Apple TV have the streaming market and with 80 million PS3s around, how many people need ANOTHER device that lets them watch Netflix (if the Vita TV even does this...).
Somehow changing the "it has no games" image that gamers have of it and increasing casual buyers of it's existence/relevance would help. I think it is under-advertised in the UK/Europe and Sony really should have made it a PS4 Parasite (catchy new name for the Vita??) and got a huge supply of PS4/Vita bundles out in the run-up to Christmas.
I love my Vita though and fully believe that Sony will continue to support it over the next few years. Yeah, the amount of support may go down but given its niche status I think it's fair to assume that a large amount of hardcore Playstation fans own a Vita and if Sony tank it then they would alienate their core base of support.
