The Vita sold to Sony's loyalists of their handhelds. The PSP sold more than the Vita did, but the handheld intererest lowered as droughts were rampant. This is the same thing that hurt the Wii U. Vita is similar to the switch in what it does but there will be more third party support if Nintendo is to be believed. The thing that makes the Vita unappealing is what made the PSP and DS more appealing. They were cheaper to develop for and thus the third party was quicker and more readily to appear in abundance. This made for a larger and more memorable library. If you look at the highest selling consoles they were not the most powerful. The Wii, PS2, PS1, DS and 3DS were the least powerful of their respective generations. The PS4 is the first time in a long time that the most powerful console is winning by a mile like the SNES to the genesis.

WiiU launched directly after a 100m+ selling nintendo home console, where are those loyalists? last i checked psp didn't sell 100m

The Wii U sold mostly to people who did not game. It was an anomaly, or lightening in a bottle that will not return until the next big gimmick. The more frequent gamers play traditional games. For the most part most of those gamers have been sustained by Sony as their primary brand for the past twenty years. The PS3 and Xbox 360 sold right down the middle into the PS2's marketshare which sold over 160 million by itelf. Interesting, eh?
