Killzone in Sept, Tearaway in Oct, is Sony gearing up to cut the price of Vita in the west? Also, is it too late? READ OP

It sounds more like Sony is trying to promote the Vita as a PS4 companion in the West, as well as the mobile game streaming capability, along with a few big exclusive games. Handhelds aren't really that big in the West anyway, and declining even more with smartphones and tablets. Japan has an entirely different market strategy, and I don't think the Japan pricecut strategy will apply to a foreign pricecut.

Banking on the success of the PS4 so sell Vitas can't be their only solution. Not to mention it might piss off people expecting software support and seeing the Vita reduced to an expensive PS4 streamer.

I don't think they're going to do that.  It'll probably continue to get a lot of crossbuy PSN games like Guacamele, but you just mentioned 2 big exclusives and SS just came out.  Let's not forget the Batman game now on 3DS and Vita along with all the indie support coming (okay that'll be on PS4 for the most part but probably some exclusives) and of course they'll have more games at E3.  Also isn't there another AC coming to it?  If they can get GTA on it I bet we'll see a big surge in the West considering they could probably do a San Andreas stories with a very nice city considering that PSP was able to basically emulate the PS2 games perfectly on a small screen.  I actually think GTA is one of the only games Sony could do that is nice for a mobile platform (you can fool around for a few minutes or do a mission which is normally pretty short in GTA games).  Also GoW would be nice but they probably would have to stretch out Kratos' story a little to give him another game.  I suppose they could have him face Typhoon, Ares, Hector, and a few others with a nice new story (maybe even more prequelly as he kills them in service to Ares lol).  I wouldn't want them to start a new mythology on Vita since SSM should save that for their PS4 GoW.  Also a real Ratchet and Clank game would sell me on Vita (if it looks like ACiT, 2, 3, ToD, or Q4B as opposed to A4O or FFA)
