OT: The handheld market is shrinking into irrelevance. You can see that with 3DS sales - a console which I feel has had everything go right for it once the first price drop hit (just about every major Nintendo franchise has arrived on it; some of the biggest Japanese franchises getting exclusive entries on it; multiple revisions to fit every demographic etc.) yet it's still going to be on par if not below the GBA.
Sony's place in the handheld market with PSP was a novelty. A novelty they couldn't replicate with the Vita.
Now, absolutely, they could (and in my opinion, should) have poured more support into the Vita and if they had, it would've seen much better sales. But on the whole I think it would've been a futile effort as the fate of the console is effectively the same - it doesn't have a future in the market; it won't be getting a traditional successor. So while I don't like it, I can see why they did what they did.
