Vita not doing well
It's a shame because the system itself is really slick. It's ideal in size, has a nice control layout (twin sticks) and is pretty powerful.
I really don't think Sony understands the handheld market. Their flagship game is Uncharted (review coming this week), which is a sprawling adventure with long cut-scenes. Who in their right mind would put this on a handheld?

NPD's survey of more than 4,200 kids ages 2 to 17 found that
26% play games on iPhones,
25% of kids surveyed play games on Nintendo's DS
21% of kids play games on Apple's iPad,
19% play games on the iPod Touch,
Some 23% play games on Android smartphones,
3DS, is being used by 9% of young people, 30 months after its release.
Sony is absent - the new price cut model of 3DS from Nintendo should help them transition considerably.

In the meantime, I'm enjoying the heck out of Machinarium, Hotline Miami, Sine Mora, Stealth Inc., Spelunky, and numerous other indie gems on the system. Outside of indie stuff, you'll find that great recent multiplatform 2D games (Muramasa, Dragon's Crown, Rayman Origins and Legends) play and look amazing on the system.
The games are there, you just have to dig a little bit.

The only one that sounds any good? I suppose we're not listening to the same radio stations then.

I think the Vita looks totally awesome. Unfortunately there aren't any games on it that justify the purchase for me.
The PSP had Tactics Ogre. That alone made it worth buying. On top of that it had Final Fantasy Tactics, two Capcom collections, SNK collection, Genesis collection, Taito collection, Killzone, two Hot Shots Golf games & movies. The only thing on Vita that interests me is Hot Shots Golf.
One thing cool about the PSP was the movies and TV shows. Overall the selction was weak and most moves were from the time frame of when the PSP was new. That kinda sucks, but there are a couple classics available. I still get a kick out of sitting in the bath tub watching Sanford & Son on the PSP.
