Everyone else thinks that the US gets the best treatment, and they're usually right.
PS+ for one is terrible in Japan compared to other territories.
Europe doesn't usually get very good treatment either because there are so many markets at play there.
SCEA didn't push Vita in the US this fall because they know it would have been a waste of time.
Anyway, there was a great bundle for AC4 liberation last year.
If anything sells Vitas in the US it will be the free games on PS+ and reduced memory card prices.

Please tell me that is a joke?? PS+ in Japan is insanely good. SCEJA made it awesome to try to push sales of it because Japan arent used to these sub based online services due to the lack of Xbox' pressence

PS+ in Japan has more content but it's mostly crap or really old. There are zero stand out titles. Look at the current ps3 lineup:

GRAW 2
HAWX 2
Super Hang-on
Limbo
Fat Princess
Chaos Code
Viking Poipoi
Rocketbirds
Neo Geo KOF ‘95
Neo Geo Shock Troopers

Where are the big Japanese games that everyone wants to play? There aren't any, it's mostly just arcade games. Chaos Code is the only one that sparked any interest in me.

Now look at the US lineup:

XCOM Enemy Unknown
Borderlands 2
DMC
Uncharted 3
Bioshock Infinite
Binary Domain
LBP Karting
DYAD
Shadow of the Colossus
Poker Night 2
Ibb Obb
Brothers

 

Insanely good. More than half of them are popular retail titles, and they're all titles that I would play. PS+ has gotten better in Japan since last summer when they added all the game archives games to the lineup, but if PS1 games aren't your thing the program is still pretty terrible as a whole. Like you said, they don't have any competition over there, but that means that they have less incentive to provide value, not more.
