3DS and Vita are interesting test cases. "Can a console survive in 2014 on only Japanese games" is the 3DS and "Can a console survive in 2014 without AAA games" is the Vita experiment.

The Vita has basically no major western support at this point. Japanese devs still develop for it a lot, though. And we're starting to see some localizations for games that wouldn't normally get them, which is pretty cool.

As far as Japanese games go, I feel like the Vita gets the 3DS's leftovers. 3DS gets the "AAA" Japanese games and the Vita gets everything else.
That being said, I vastly prefer my Vita. I sold my 3DS a long time ago and I don't regret it outside of Mario 3D World. I like playing ports and indies on a handheld. I just wouldnt play them anywhere else. Plus, port or not, The Vita has the best game on both handhelds, Persona 4. My opinion of course.
