Was the Vita doomed from the start?

Yup. High price. Proprietary cards. AT&T. Sony was booed on stage for announcing AT&T. Weak launch lineup. Bad marketing. Sony set it up to fail from the moment go. Oh, and no native backward compatibility. Granted, they fucked themselves by going disc on a portable system in 2004. So at launch, 3DS already had every DS game playable and a cheaper price (tho still priced too high at the time) 

I do love my Vita and PSP but Sony had no clue what they were doing. No one understands the market like Nintendo.
