People could do the same with Vita PS3 cross buy but it was never a problem.


That's a little different.  PS3 to Vita is a slight downgrade (arguable).  However, PS3 to PS4 is a significant upgrade.


PS3 to PS4 costs extra money. PS3 to Vita doesn't.

It balances itself out.


PS3 Vita cross buy isn't even the right comparison to PS3/PS4 upgrade.  Vita is more an extension to play the PS3 version on the go.  I suppose you could use the Vita version as the primary version to replace to the PS3 version but who did that?  And even if this was true, who owns a Vita and buys games for the Vita?  The number of possible people that can exploit this is very small.  Anedoctally I only know 1 person that owned a Vita but sold it after couple of months because he never used it nor had any games to play.

However, lots of people is going to own the PS4.  Also, the PS4 digital copy is a permanent replacement for the PS3 version.  Why would anyone go back play the PS3 version if that person has the PS4 version?
