The Vita was simply not supported. It’s only big seller in Japan is Minecraft and it got nothing beyond that. It still almost doubled what the WiiU sold, a system that had plenty of Mario games including Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Smash. Even the PS4 struggled to outsell the Vita despite all the big hitters it got.

Wii and PS3 still crossed the 10m mark and PS4 is on track to do it. Consoles still do well in Japan, but handhelds do super well. That's it.

Yeah but the PS4 will blitz past the PS3 in every region this year except for Japan, where it could potentially never outsell the PS3 - and that’s despite DQ and MH coming back to the PS. Just goes on to show the change in landscape when it comes to console gaming in Japan.
