After a while you have to cut your loses. How long do you think it's fine to keep trying, till you throw in the towel? 1 year? 5 years? They did try for the first few years. People didn't care either way. Nothing is really going to change that. Think about it from another perspective. Take a movie. First movie in a series was great. Second movie was really bad. Most people go in this direction: screw this franchise.
Third movie is made. Everyone involved, threw endless love and care. It's a flawless story. 100% better than the second. And it fails. Why? No one cared to look at it. All the complaints like cell phone plan, memory cards, port machine. That all sticks in peoples mind. Then everyone go meh. Everyone here is guilty of this mentality, at some point.
I do it. EA ruined Sims 4 at launch. I don't give two shits about the franchise anymore. But I do know they put back in most of all the missing stuff everyone bitched about. I still don't buy it. So it stays as a damaged series. This is a repeating human pattern. Companies know the signs. So Sony is now keeping the Vita alive. And just throws bones at it. When it doesn't require a lot of money/work. They also don't have that a lot of unique line of games. Because of the portstation. Would you buy the 3DS, if the games you liked, where on Wii U? Unless you really you move arround a lot, no.
As for JPN support being better. A lot of factors. It's doing better compared to other countries. The percent considered okay in JPN, is lower than the US. The price was more accepted from the start. Remember their stuff is extremely expensive. Loyalty from JPN people/publishers could be higher. Cheaper prices to make games. Due to local factor. Etc.
