The thing that keeps Nintendo portables strong in the west is obviously their first party titles like Mario and Mario Kart, along with Pokemon. There wasn't a lot of western support for the psp, and it doesn't have franchises that are as widely known. I think the Vita's success in the west hinges on games that appeal to that market. I think the Uncharted game should be a good starting point, but we'll see how things go.

As long as the Vita has a better launch than the PSP, I'll be happy.
Well, it has very big expectations. So I think it'll do better than the PSP.

I just picked up Fate/Extra this past Tuesday. Corpse Party comes out in a couple weeks and then Grand Knights History some time early next year. What else is still coming out for the PSP that is worth looking into???
I think Aksys is bringing over Hakuoki (if you're into that kinda thing) and Nisa is bringing over Black Rock Shooter. Other than that I'm not sure.

Actually I am looking forward to both of those games. I don't think Black Rock Shooter has a release date yet from what I've heard and Hakouki is early next year. Also, Final Fantasy Type-O looks interesting if/when it comes out to the states. Also, the rest of LoH: TitS saga if it ever comes out. Might be on Vita by the time they are made.
Other than Fate/Extra and Hakuoki (Aksys), Corpse Party and Grand Knights History (XSEED), Black Rock Shooter (NISA), there aren't any announced upcoming niche games for the PSP.

Japan is still getting a lot of games, but the selection has become very limited for everyone else.
And they're all awesome games I'm going to buy. ♥
I just hope Square Enix localized FF Type-0.
