From a hardware perspektive buy that fucking vita. You wont get a better handheld right now.
From a software perspektive depends what games a you like. I think the vita has a solid christmas line up.
You have Assassins Creed, LegoLord of the Rings, Sonic All Stars and much more plus thear are tow games out there you will not get dissapointed Uncharted and Gravity Rush. If the line up is appealing to you buy it.
And for the hate. Everything sony relatet is doomed lately. Even when the pS3 would end up selling 80 or 90 million plus it will be a failure for some guys. First the PS3 was doomed, now the Vita is doomed yet again the PS3 is doomed again because of the Wii U. Look some people out there will always bash and you can give them argument after argumnet they will always disagree. Those people have a limit brain and the best thing you can do is to ignore them.
And for the future vita support: I wouldnt be to worry. It has a solid Christmas Line up, there will be a price cut next year and of course the PS3 show us how a doomed console can get his resurection and the PSP showed us the same in japan.
