I seriously hope the next Nintendo handheld is a Vita clone I love the design. Yeah, thankfully I love niche Japanese games.

It definitely is damage control. Like you said and Ive said earlier, its weird to call it a legacy model.

Actually, that brings up an interesting question. If Sony is going to abandon the handheld market, and the NeXt Nintendo handheld is at least slightly more powerful than the Vita, do you think most of the Vita titles (the ones not tied to the PS brand) would be ported to the Nintendo system?

Not sure why they would bother. Vita has no games worth buying on it according to most on this forum :p anybody wanting Vita software would already have bought one I presume. The rest are all on PS3 and PS4 anyway.

Actually, the Vita has a lot of JRPGs, those usually sell well on Nintendo systems (pretty sure the Persona games would sell like gangbusters). And Nintendo could help localise or advertise some of the smaller ones. Maybe even release retail versions so that the first year doesn't suffer a drought.
