I don't think the price of the hardware is too unreasonable. It struggles price-wise compared with the 3DS, but it's no secret that the hardware is superior and much more suited to 'proper' games.
The problem is the distinct lack of these 'proper' games, or any games at all. I love my Vita, but I'd struggle to actually recommend it to anyone at the moment. The 3DS is the more sensible proposition in terms of software lineup.
It doesn't help that the base ?229 price is slightly misleading, too. Unlike the 3DS, there is no included memory card, and the price of Vita memory cards and prepherials would make even Microsoft blush.
