Is the PS VR2 the next Vita?

My VR2 sits under my television, almost taunting me whenever I’m on the couch. It’s covered inPokemonstickers, and it hasn’t been used for months. Unfortunately, this is a familiar feeling. MyPlayStation Vitawatches me from a shelf just above head level whenever I’m at my desk.
