There are certain Japanese games which have a big enough western audience to make a difference to Vita sales in the west, like a new Metal Gear Solid game, Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy (that's why everyone with a Vita was so pissed off that Type-0 HD went to PS4/XB1 and not PSV), and I think it isn't out of the question that we might still get one (FF or KH being my bet)

There are others as well, Resident Evil Revelations would've been very useful if it hadn't gone to 3DS initially (for a time, Vita was the only current system you couldn't buy it on, until 4Bone arrived, even though it would seem like a perfect fit with superior graphics and built in twin-sticks compared to 3DS). Other than those, I don't know.

Personally I think there's potential for some of these games to do well enough in both Japan and the west to make them worth developing, especially as it should theoretically be quicker and cheaper than a PS4 game, the problem is the latter will have more potential to shift units. However, if you're very dependent on Japan, with a smaller western market, PS4 being a complete bomba in its home territory may help Vita, which is doing alright there by comparison (that's why I think SE might eventually throw us a bone with an FF or KH spin-off)

I won't hold my breath though - being a Vita owner has defintiely taught me that
