NX will be a way, way better platform than the Vita. The Vita is a low bar, Sony barely supported it, neither did Capcom or Square-Enix really, Nintendo will support the NX like no Nintendo platform before it, and the likes of Capcom, Square-Enix and all these little studios doing Vita stuff will likely support the NX too.
Going upmarket with specs and form factor is smart IMO. Companies will make bigger/more serious games for the NX than previous portables have gotten and this is neccessary because mobile/phones basically control the market for small scale/bite size gaming.
Nintendo is making the right call in going upmarket with a portable device that can more approximate real console experiences.
