Sony isn't the company it was when it green lit Vita and the game market isn't nearly the same either. On top of that, Sony is worried about this system and rightfully so.

3DS got a lift due to aggressive price drops and bundles, especially during the Holiday season. But Nintendo hasn't totally turned the tides. According to the latest reports (Example: http://www.edge-online.com/news/nint...os-2-sells-3m/) they're still taking a loss.

What I was saying is that for Vita to improve it needs compelling content along with a compelling price. Is that really nonsense?
I normally don't agree with doom and gloom predictions, but Sony itself has been very clear that it has been disappointed with the Vita's sales performance and lack of third party support.

While I don't think this will be its last holiday season, if something doesn't change drastically, I doubt it will be around as long as the PSP was. The competition from other mobile gaming devices like smartphones and iPads and presumably the new iPad mini is making handheld gaming a tougher and tougher business model. Selling a $250 gaming device that isn't also a smartphone or a particularly good web surfing or more general media player device is tough in any economy, let alone one that is still recovering from such a damaging worldwide crisis.
