True, but the choices of more niche audiences are relevent as well and there is an argument that the more mainstream audience in the west aren't interested in console-type experiences on handhelds anyway, or in handhelds at all, in which case Sony may as well concentrate on more niche genres where there's already a fanbase and a range of titles which can be built upon to attract similar people to invest in the platform
A lot of it is down to whether or not you think that in today's market, it is even possible for Vita to succeed in the west like the PSP did. Given the growing strength of mobile and the fact that though solid (and way better than Vita's), even 3DS sales in the west aren't spectacular, I'm beginning to think it was always impossible for Vita to succeed in that way
Vita has a future, but the AAA-in-your-hands experience, though it can work, doesn't seem to be a viable path to large-scale success so you may as well cater to the fans you've got, and get others like them to join in, even if overall that isn't a massive market (still workable though)
