Nintendo got the exclusive deal instead of Sony. Yokai watch was also in development for playstation so if it had of had Yokai, monster Hunter and minecraft I think it would have sold 10m+

 

The bigger sales would have driven more support from other devs too. Basically after the psp disrupted Nintendo for the first time ever by providing competition in the handheld market they didn't want it to happen again and they shut down any chance the vita had. 

 

You have to say from a business point of view they played their cards right. 

Yokai Watch would have bombed if it was on the Vita. 

If the vita had the Holy trinity of yokai watch, monster Hunter and minecraft the console would have sold well and none would have bombed.
