They haven't really saved anything, big third parties like Capcom, Konami, and Square-Enix still generally avoid the Vita like a plague, giving it token support at best. It won't come close to sniffing the PSP's LTD in Japan.

"Saved" in relative terms. It's right about 4m in Japan which is more than anyone expected after it's disastrous first few months. 

Well, i huge disagree with this... after a bad start in 2012, some people still expect way more. sure more than 4 million lifetime.
