There was a lot against it from the start, yeah
Apart from the high prices, horrible 3G version and proprietary memory cards, Sony focused on two wrong things.
-The hardware wasn't strong enough for the whole home console gaming on the go they tried to push with the Vita. There's some PS3 ports even from Sony themselves that are embarrassingly bad.
-Social media apps/movies/3G wasn't a selling point by that point because smartphones already existed. This worked with the PSP because it released in 2004, before the first iPhone, but in 2011? Nah.
And then there's no big game at the launch. Or ever. Nothing that makes you think, "wow, I need to play this". There's lots to love about the Vita library but it lacks that kind of game (or games).
