Not in Japan, they don't. And Japan's the main market Atlus cares about when it comes to SMT. And besides, it's not like the larger amount of home consoles in the West translate has translated to even more MegaTen game sales. Come on, it's been a long enough time for everyone to realize this and realistically set their expectations.

I don't think they can really afford to do it considering their current financial status.

Though, it could be that games for the VITA seem closer to developing for a console game than the 3DS, so yeah this is just a show of the times.
I'd put the blame more on the fact that Vita's been selling less than 10,000 units a week in Japan for some time now.

It was relegated to the same status as If... (main series, but not part of the numbered) becuase it wasn't set in Tokyo Well, at the very least we got a condition for when a mainline MegaTen game gets a number.
