I mean they pretty much never heavily supported the Vita, even early on they did not develop a lot of big first party exclusives for it. Then again pretty much any Sony system relies more on third parties than anything else. So- for someone who dug the Vita for RPG's and indies I definitely would expect them to feel comfortable buying a PSP sequel system
design is a big thing to be honest, if it's a cool looking system that's comfortable then that alone would draw in a lot of people.
I think it's safe to say that there would be a little uncertainty from the masses though given Sony's disregard and lack of care for the Vita. Obviously if Sony was going to heavily invest in bringing out another handheld system though that would PROBABLY suggest they would do SOMETHING different than they did with Vita, presumably one of those things being supported it better in terms of software.... (you would think?)
my automatic reaction is I wouldn't trust them however I'd have to see the product and launch software
