Besides. They might remove backwards compatibility to PSP games when they release a second model.
Actually, the PS3 had a pretty significant failure rate early on. Not anywhere near the 360 numbers, but significant enough that retailers complained to Sony. The PSP was pretty reliable though, so I don't think I would be deterred from getting the Vita at launch because of the slight possibility of a hardware issue.
