Did the vita focus too much on niche titles?

I think Sony just didn't focus enough on it...

Pretty much. Its fallen back on indies and niche titles because thats all it can do. 

They did not focus on exclusive home console experiences (at least not where quality is concerned), a few familiar franchises were shat out but virtually none touched home console quality- Little Big Planet and Tearaway are 2 exceptions.

They did not focus on selling niche or indie titles, that only became a priority once they released 3rd parties weren't interested, 1st party studios had dried up (were all working on ps3/4 and  that japanese devs rarely delivered AAA handheld experiences.

They didn't focus on much, sony themselves said that they were expecting more 3rd party support. Probably from the likes of square enix and capcom.

Tearaway was just too late by the time it came out and little big planet just isn't as a big a franchise as people want it to be.

The biggest problem sony had was that a lot of people didn't buy the PSP for games. People bought the PSP for the image, branding and it's non gaming uses. But once the Iphone came out that did everything the PSP did and more it's market dissapeared. Sony then went a head and made a killer (i truly mean that, the vita is the best product sony has put out imo) handheld for the market they thought was there.
