GTA4/GTA5 pack bundle.
GranTurismo6 and bundle.
Finalfantasy something.
Nothing at all, I think Japan will mantain the system afloat from being a total failure but it won't do good numbers and at this point a turn around is unlikely. I think it could do around 20 million when all is said and done

Final Fantasy 15 could do it for Japan at least.

Wii U - 5.5 million
Vita at the same point - 4.4 million
Very simple.
I don't know. I was away from home for a full week for work, last week. I brought my 3DS, Vita, and Xbox 360 to keep me busy in my room. I have a Vita collection to die for, btw. Anyway, my 360 wouldn't work on the HDTV in the hotel room. Prime time for the Vita to shine, right? Nope. I didn't touch it the entire week. Not a good sign.
But what could save it? Some addicting Pokemon-like phenomenon. It's gonna have to take advantage of social capabilities to be a winner, though.

I'm not sure if I remember this exactly right, but I think someone said it's not the case if you do launch aligned comparisons. Either way, it's pointless to compare the two systems given that the way handhelds and consoles sell are different.
Another price-cut
Cheaper Memory cards
Exclusive Gran Turismo
Exclusive GTA (the best selling PSP game ever according this site was GTA Liberty City Stories)
Exclusive God of War
Exclusive Final Fantasy
Exclusive Metal Gear Solid (something like Peace Walker)
Getting third party franchises like FIFA, Need for Speed and Call of Duty
I just started asking myself .
What will save the Wii U?
I'm pretty sure(just to answer your question),
games like Dragon Quest,Mario 2/3D,Monster Hunter or ZeldaWW would already have saved the Vita twice,but they all failed to save the Wii U.
+Nintendo exclusived games like Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest to help vita to fail,but there was no need for sony to exclusive some games to make Wii U fail-WiiU did it by itself,without any help or manipulation from outside.
1) i think the vita is already saved in Japan,as 2mio+ sold handhelds in handheld country + reaching 3 millions sometime in Summer should be enough to keep it well alive.Nothing big and a lot of scramble but it will go on+PSO2 should help a lot.
2)remote play could have lot potential in handheld country.Playing ps4 console games on the go could create some momentum.
3)puzzle/dragons(in the case nintendo didnt exclusived it)
4)gta vice city + gt vita
