Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy Dissidia, FIFA, God of War, Gran Turismo, etc. and others have sold well on the PSP in the past. 

The issue is today is Nintendo is the only one strong enough to push through smartphones and have a handheld userbase that makes selling big IP titles feasible. 

Third parties trust Sony, if Sony banks on Nintendo, then a lot of them would follow suit too IMO. Sony brings legitimacy and wider market demographic to the table. 

So why didn't they on the Vita? Because the handheld market has changed, they don't want those kinds of games anymore.

The value proposition of the Vita just isn't there. Nintendo still has their strong hold in the portable business though. Sony can piggyback off that.
