Give it time, and then ask this again if the situation doesn't change.

It already had its second holiday season in the USA and will be 3 years old by the end of the year in Japan. In 2-3 years we´ll likely already have first informations about atleast one next gen handheld. So it´s really getting late considering 3ds is roughly a year older which could likely mean we are already in the middle of the handheld generation and the next gen handheld system not many years away.

What I meant was that give it time to see if there is a PS4 effect, or if the Vita TV will do anything for the platform in the West =)

I know what you meant. A price drop will likely still be more effective. The PS4 helping PSV in a significant way mantra we can read in forums reminds me a lot of how PSVTV is supposed to help the system. It looks like to be only a very vocal minority of fans in forums rather than anything substantial. The only way the situation can improve due to PS4 is, if every PS4 will be bundled with a PSV.

While I absolutely agree with everything you said, I still think we MIGHT see a slight increase in Vita sales that will be relatable with the PS4. Let's see what happens when PS4 hits Japan =) I don't believe for one moment that the fortunes of the Vita will turn around any time soon and it'll start pulling 10m/year, but some sort of increase is unthinkable.
