"sounds like" to you, you mean.

You blamed Sony for everything with vita, i already said multi times that Sony supported vita very well but their games on portable just don't sell or moving hardware at all, they only work on console since the west care more about Sony games on Sony console, not Sony portable. Vita has great games (both 1st and 3rd) but they are meaningless against ps4, the west would pick a ps4 over something like vita/psp. Psp software sales show that the west don't care much about games on Sony portables (even if they're amazing), only on Sony consoles.

You clearly didn't read the bolded. I blamed 3rd parties too.

Sony is mainly at fault though.

By that logic, blame Sony customers too, vita has many 1st and 3rd parties games, but none of them sold well except Minecraft. The Westerner care more about gaming on tv with high resolution and pretty graphic than gaming on a small screen, this is true at least for Sony fans.

I personally would blame sony because they thought Uncharted and Killzone were going to be what sold a handheld. We needed RPGs, platformers and arcade action games etc. 

Imagine if the PSVita launched in year 1 with Jak and Daxter 4 instead of Uncharted, Final Fantasy Type 0, GOW Ascension, Ratchet and Clank into the Nexus, Pupeteer, Morrowind port etc. Sure not all of these are sony properties but its more the fact that they didn't establish the right deals and prioritise the right franchises to get the platform going.  A lot of late PS3 games could have been prioritized for Vita as they weren't major entries in the respective franchises (like GOW Ascension) and this reflected in how they sold. In the end though I'm glad with how things turned out, Sony are fully focused on home consoles and giving us experiences only their first party teams could and Nintendo is doing everything the Vita should have done. So its a win win!
