PlayStation boss says PS4 launch 'a great opportunity for Vita'
The vast majority of PS4 games are required to support Vita Remote Play, adding a new string to the portable platform's bow, and the first PS4 Vita hardware bundles went on sale late last month to coincide with the new home console's release.
Asked if Sony believes PS4's arrival will give Vita a much-needed boost, the boss of PlayStation told CVG contributor Steve boxer:
"I think Remote Play offers a great opportunity for PlayStation Vita to be seen as a companion device for the PlayStation 4 - a chance, with a reasonable investment, to have a second-screen experience. According to our research, that's resonated most in Europe, ahead of anywhere else."
House said another "pillar of the Vita strategy is to have it be the next platform of opportunity for really good mobile game developers who are looking to expand their creative portfolio into something with more differentiated games interfaces, and we're seeing some success with that".
On the subject of the redesigned Vita model launched in Japan in October, House was hesitant to commit to a possible western release.
"I can't talk about launch plans for the 2000 series at this point. It has launched in Japan and it's selling very well there, and it has certainly increased overall Vita sales - both on hardware and software."
Sony has forecast a combined total of just five million Vita and PSP sales during the current business year ending March 2014, compared to seven million handheld sales achieved in the previous financial year.

The remote play works great.
I would prefer they allow you to map the corners of the touch screen to R2,L2,R3,L3 instead of the touchpad at the back, as personally I have an easier time pressing the screen in the right place than the touchpad.
It's not really suited to all kinds of games but those with a slower, more methodical pace should be fine.

I'm really hoping that sales for the Vita increase a little. I would love to see some more games for the platform

NDSUSanctorum The Vita is a terrible device. I was offered a second hand one for 40GBP and declined, it's just not worth it. I've already seen PS4 bundles with the PS4, a controller, a vita and 2 games for around 600GBP and almost bought one, luckily for me, it was out of stock, must be a sign! :P
Why you hating bro? LOL Some people have different opinions on it.
Hese got a point though mate. lul
