Worked for GameBoy. And for mobiles.

If they are after mainstream crew, they care for those things.

Also, Vita's library is the meaning of niche.

It was a totally different market back when the Gameboy ruled.

Consumers in 2016 are not going to drop over $200 for a dedicated portable gaming system when they can play games on the phone they already own. Expensive high-end hardware would be financial suicide.

And the market has changed again. That's why the rejected the 3DS, That's why it failed to grab the mainstreams, That's why they had to do a big price cut after release.

The financial suicide will be releasing another gimped device like the 3DS, and the same can be said about the Wii U.

A high powered dedicated portable released this year or next would sell far worse than the 3DS and financially wreck Nintendo.

They would have to either sell it at a loss and haemorrhage money, or jack the price up beyond what anybody but the most hardcore fans would pay, and have sub-Vita sales.
