The scariest thing is, it turns out the PS3 and Xbox 360 both barely managed 20 games each in 7+ years on the market. How on earth did we cope with such a low output of software?

Because the PS3 and 360 were the most powerful consoles available.  They're not a slight upgrade above Wii graphics getting the same games as a system 4-5 times more powerful.

However, you missed the rule. If a game is available on any other system, it is not a game for that system. ;)

This suddenly makes the lineup on all systems look much smaller, unless it's a Nintendo system.

The Vita came out five to six years after the PS3 or 360.  So if you're into gaming you have one or the other. 

But if a game came out on 360, it doesn't count as a game on PS3 surely?

Vita just suffers this from more angles, the games on the system weren't elsewhere massively in advance, it's just that it's games were also 360/PS3, 3DS, iOS/Android which no other system has suffered. However you actually need like 5 systems, to be able to play all Vita's non exclusive content.

On top of that though, even if you do own a PS3 or 360, you still can't take that with you on a flight/on the train/on the bus. The portability factor is what makes Vita appeal to me so much.
