It seems like there is possibly room for a $199 price point (which you explained).

They should release a Vita bundled with a 4gb card for $199 and keep that price for 3 years. Phase out the 4gb card and make the 8gb $20, 16gb $40, and the 32gb $70.

And finally, most importantly, keep a steady stream of new releases.

P.S. Give early adopters a free SCE game on PSN

If they're going to sell the Vita with 4GB memory , they're are better of opting for flash memory, it will save them so much money. I say Phase out the 4gb memory card towards the end of the year and cut the 16, 32GBmemory card by 20-30%, as  the Vita will need to build momentum. I havnt bought a system yet, not because the cost of the system itself or lack of games but due to the combined cost of  a VIta+decent memory card.
