I think that having a female Assassin on the Vita is more of an experiment to see how players react to playing as a female and if players want more of it, since having a female Assassin on a console game right away would be pretty risky. There are still a lot of people going "if Desmond relives the memories of a female Assassin he will start having periods" or "a female Assassin killing men is unbelievable." Lovely short-mindedness.
