It didn't have anything to do with PS Vita. 3DS released a year prior to Vita in Japan and North America. It was all about the sales trend being below what game publishers including Nintendo found to be at a tolerable level. They needed to increase the sales trend or they risked having games being cancelled for it and causing even more damage. It was sort of an act of emergency to get the system moving again.
PS4 will definitely not be $299. It'll be at least $399.
