no its not dead but the 2 devices won't receive the same types of games.

50% PSV's games will see cross platform support while 25% will focus on the consoles feature set leaving 3DS at the fromt door but i'd say 90% of 3DS games will make there way to PSV will the remaining 25% of PSV games will see a 3DS release while 3rd parties continue to support there older brothers(or sisters)

Also I think some of you are forgetting about the timeframe - games currently releasing (or should I say not releasing ) are stuff that have been planned and developed long before 3DS launch. So if current period of bad sales is going to have repercussions it will be in 2012-2013.

The average consumer wouldn't know that.......

Well it comes down mainly to the games, so it remains to be seen if the Vita has a strong libary. If it does, the sales still might be slow at first, but steady due to games people want, and volume would bring the price down soon enough.

I think it will be wise see if with the 3DS price cut the major releases for here to december gets some really good sales and even a major boost for the console.

Don't forget to not compare it to the launch of the PSVita in Japan, the first 2 weeks of launch are really just the people that wanted the console no matter what games are for it, even the 3DS a launch seems to be good.

48 games are shown on TGS for 3DS.
7 games for Vita.

All said.

Oh, this is so great!

Were those 7 total or just by Sony?

Also, this is still well before launch, so that doesn't really indicate anything about how the system or its games will sell versus the 3DS.
