The only thing that makes me sad about Vita at this point is Sony's lack of software for the platform.
I'm not annoyed at actual software on the platform because I love Japanese games and 2014 is going to be fantastic for that (far more than my wallet can handle). And there's some gems of games - from all regions - that were released in 2012 & 2013 too, a list I've still not finished with. Throw in that indies were a pleasant surprise for me and I'm more than happy with my purchase.
I can stomach them not promoting the machine because it's a high end portable gaming machine aimed at a market that doesn't exist. They're cutting their losses by not trying to expand their userbase beyond what already exists, and I get that.
But what I don't get is why they're not trying to sell to the existing userbase. Games of Tearaway's level (made by a small team within one of Sony's studios) are exactly what the device needs in terms of western support and Sony isn't delivering. And Sony make a lot of games I like and ultimately that's what's been most disappointing about Vita.
I still love it; and it'll probably go down as my favourite handheld of all time if it keeps up the localizations; it's just the potential is there and it's getting thrown away.
