It's not wonder to be honest. Their support for it at E3 was pretty disgusting and PlayStation TV won't help it. Might sell a few Vita games, but not the console. If anything it would probably ruin the Vita. Not long until it's 35 million and I see 3DS having huge sales later in the year.

Not a single point on that graph shows the gap closing at all. It's a shame, really.
