The PS Vita did poorly for quite a few reasons.
- Almost nonexsistant marketing compared to say the 3DS and PS4, this is especially important since it is named differently than the PSP.
- Expensive proprietary memory
- Sony at hardly talked about the PS Vita at any event after it launched, it needed to be treated as a flagship product to have confidence from both developers and early adopters. I don't think Sony has spent even 10% of the time at events talking about the PS Vita relative to the duration they talked about other platforms at each event.
- Very little display space at physical stores
- The Vita required a seperate console to connect to the TV (PS TV)
- Sony publicly remarking on how the system was a legacy device/Remote Play device/"climate is not healthy" for a Vita sequel/etc. it is self defeatist messaging and only sank the ship faster
- And many more issues
