Sony fails at it because they have an incredibly ass-backwards menu system for their console and, thus, fail at advertising to most console owners that those items are even available to them. Until they do something that makes their menu system flow better and have a more cohesive feeling to it (like Microsoft and Steam have done), they will continue to fail at bringing customers into doing those things on their consoles.

Of course, Sony sucks balls at marketing in general. IOU, the reason why the Vita sucks is because they've done NOTHING in the way of marketing to support it (I've seen one commercial for a Vita game and it was that dumb ass Call of Duty game that came out for it and I'd be willing to bet that they funded the marketing for it instead of Sony). I wouldn't put my game on it either because it's pretty damn obvious that Sony doesn't have a clue in how to market it to actually sell games.

If Sony was smart, they'd make it an integral part of the Playstation (don't be surprised if the next consoles are just called Playstation and Xbox instead of PS4 and Xbox 720 or whatever - the power of singular branding like that is VERY strong) experience with their new console. How exactly they do that? I don't know, but it would be HUGE for them to do that. Even bigger would be for them to market two or three BIG releases for it in the coming year during this February 20th announcement that they have coming up. With all eyes on them because of the anticipation for the new consoles (I could almost not give two shits less and I'll probably still be watching), it'd be the perfect time to market the hell out of the Vita with some big Playstation exclusive releases.
