If they put 8gb or 16gb BUILT IN, then it would cost a lot less money since they dont need to cover the cost of special propriety code for the SD cards. Seriously it would be like a dollar per gig. Then, if people still need more memory, they can still buy the expensive cards later, but at least have some memory from the start built into a newer model of the vita.
I got the Assassins Creed Vita bundle, but it costs a lot since I had to buy a game ($40), a 32gb memory card ($100 to store 2 years worth of ps plus freebies (56 ps1, psp, ps mini, & ps mobile games to be exact)) and a screen protector ($10 which is a must buy), and I had to buy insurance or I was screwed if I dropped it. So essentially, I spent almost enough money to buy both a ps3 AND a 360...all for just a handheld.
Can u see the problem? Plus we're not getting many QUALITY games as OFTEN as we'd like, simply because it costs just as much to make a ps vita game as it does a ps 3 game (since people expect current gen graphics, animation, surround sound, voice acting, tacked-on multiplayer, and lengthy gameplay). This costs too much money, especially for new games, so publishers keep porting old games, but some of those games are already on ps3. Tell me, how many people bought a ps vita without already owning a ps3? See the issue? Sony is in a bit of a pickle, but I still love my Vita (especially Persona 4 Golden), but it's a hard sell for trying to convince my friends to buy it too considering the cost and these other issues.
Persona is like a grown man's pokemon, and is very popular in japan. However, p4g is just an enhanced port (so most fans already played the original and didn't wanna buy the enhanced version). More NEW Persona and SMT series games made exclusively for the Vita, combined with exclusive Monster Hunter & Dragon Quest, and Gran Turismo games would cause a HUGE surge in sales in Japan (and the west since there is a renewed interest in Jrpg's here).
A new, decent Call of Duty (although I don't care for it), and Gran Turismo would help in the West

But I would like to see Sony get rights to publish Digimon games.

I'd point out why I had to qualify that statement, but I don't want to engage with the fanboys.
Seriously, though, have you seen the line-up of games for Japan? Even just the next three months. Wow.
