Did a search, found nothing, lock if old.
Anyway, Miyamoto called the first direct shots at the Vita in an interview with EDGE.
To be fair, he identified the same issues with the 3DS launch:

It's the same problem he is identifying that everybody on this board has been calling the Vita out for for months now- it doesn't matter how hi specced your hardware is, a game machine is defined by its games, and Vita, for now at least, lacks any defining games.
Anyway, Miyamoto called the first direct shots at the Vita in an interview with EDGE.
Miyamoto said:"It's obviously a very hi-spec machine and you can do lots of things with it, but I don't really see the combination of software and hardware that really makes a very strong product," said Miyamoto. "But I can't really say"
He concluded: "I'm not looking at Vita as happy that it's not selling well, or scared that it would sell well - I'm not looking at Vita that way."
To be fair, he identified the same issues with the 3DS launch:
Miyamoto said:When we launched the 3DS hardware we didn't have Super Mario 3D Land, we didn't have Mario Kart 7, we didn't have Kid Icarus: Uprising," he said. "We were striving to have all of these ready for the launch, but we weren't able to deliver them at that time.
"We were kind of hoping that people would, nevertheless, buy into the product, find 3DS hardware promising, but looking back we have to say we realise the key software was missing when we launched the hardware."
