No, no, I know it was wrong. I know I should have pre ordered 6 copies from every retailer stocking the game. I just got cheap, and cost the entire handheld community future FIFA 11 Reskins and 3D portable Football :'(
Were it not for my selfish greedy cheapness back on that fateful Q4, maybe there would never have been this thread.
Nothing's changed; this was just an acknowledgement of what the market already knew.
There simply is no significant market for the PSV in the West.
The PSV still makes for a good companion device for the PS4, and it remains a good device for playing old PSP and PS1 games. For anything else, it's pretty much import Japanese games for those who are into that market.

and yet....
weekly hardware chart: 16th may 2015 (last sales data we have)
Vita in eu > Wii U in eu.
Vita in Japan > Wii U in japan
Vita globally > Wii U globally.
Thats like saying theres no market for the Wii U outsides of the US.
The vita still has alot of good games getting made for it.

Except that the Wii U will continue to see the same level of support outside of the US until its successor is released.
The Vita represents the end of the line for SCE's mobile console device aspirations.
As an early supporter of the PSV (pre-order, day 1 user), I still like the device and consider it to be the best handheld console I've ever used, but as of now, no significant support in the NA market can be expected and it's been a very long time since I was a part of the grey market import niche.
"Except that the Wii U will continue to see the same level of support outside of the US until its successor is released."
Wouldnt be surprised if the Vita gets games long after theres no more being developed for the Wii U.
Simply because when nintendo launches a new system they typically just drop all developement for the older consol. While 3rd party usually keep makeing games for a system if theres a large enough user base still there.
But yes, I fully expect some die hard Nintendo fans to make much ado over the Wii U eventually eclipsing PSV sales globally, not that this means anything on a significant level.

This is your opinion.
I am very happy about the PS Vita line-up in this year, very good games released and much more good ones will release!
And even if you think it is not getting supported -> it is selling better without support than Wii U with support. Think about that.

It's entirely possible if the PSV is the last dedicated handheld SCE puts on the market.
Third party support may just be a question of how long SCE decides to continue manufacturing and distributing the device.
