Don't get me wrong, Some of the Vita support was pretty good by Sony.
I think they made some bad bets by getting behind Borderlands 2 and Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Vita. Instead of funding those, why not fund a Gran Turismo 6 port?
Those PS2 ports are nice, but not much boast about given performance issues (Jak and Daxter Colelction is garbage nearing unplayable). A lot of the indie stuff is underhwleming. Some of the library was Sony trying to find an answer to losing Monster Hunter.
Frankly, if the Vita just had a few more marquee titles and if they did a better job on PS2 ports it would be easier to recommend a Vita.

I agree. It's a shame that the survey asking if people were interested in Gran Turismo Vita never materialized in an actual game. I also agree that Sony could've funded more 3rd party games. If not AAA then AA games like Daxter on PSP that sold 4.2 mill.
I guess they realized pretty quickly that the growing popularity of smartphone gaming (with its free games) made it impossible to make profits on handheld games without franchises like Pokémon, Super Mario, Monster Hunter, Animal Crossing and Yokai Watch. Even the 3DS that HAD those 5 franchises hardly made a profit for Nintendo.
