Actually, it was in PS3 too, but on PS4 it's feature by defualt - devs don't need to do anything, it is suppoerted in hardware, so any game can be streamed this way to Vita (this is more like local cloud), unlike WiiU where Off-TV Play is not supported for all games.

If Sony is clever, they would release gaming tablets/tablet attachments just for this, or even let other manufacturers support Remote Play too on their qualified tablets. (effectivley making tablets like WikiPad  replace Vita)

I believe MS will probably do similar thing with their SmartGlass.

if you think this will be big then you are lying to yourself. 1. we don't even know the price of the ps4 2. you have to buy a 200 dollar vita too to play it, thats a prettey expensive remote play don't you think? ;) and people don't like it when they have to buy extra accesoires when they can get included something similiar in a different console.  sales for move are showing this, also every nintendo game before where you needed an extra accesoire sold worse.

It does not need to be big, it's not a main feature, and it's just convenience for people who want to play off TV - unlike WiiU's Gamepad integration, it does not do anything but bring your game to (currently) Vita. It is built into hardware, and all games support it by default without any extra work from devs. Will you be using it as a PS4 owner or not is completely up to your preferences and your pocket. Vita is current option for Remote Play, and only for that (if you don't want/need handheld) I agree it is too expensive - hence why I think Sony might introduce cheaper options down the line, or even let other manufacturers support Remote Play.
