I have a social media app on my phone that allows me to quickly see what the casuals are thinking. In the past month or so I didn't see a single person mention PS Vita. Since gamescom like 5 people have already asked if they should go vita or 3ds. Its sales will be huge*

*relatively.

Huge??? i thought it might be like 35k but every1 seems to think much less, if its 20k after the price cut vita is in trouble imo, i kno it'll spike with killzone but still.... 

I don't know why you have such faith here TBone. I've seen nothing to suggest we will have a 3DS-esque boost, and NPD reports sorta suggest that the system isn't at the forefront of people's minds right now. The cut will get the handful of people who were not jumping in because of price instead of SW to make the plunge, but that's it. Retailers have lost faith in the system, and even with the cut it ain't advertised in store. So you wouldn't even know, unless you follow gaming. 

Killzone couldroducd a spike, but it's a franchise which isn't as big as others. And, there's another KZ coming for PS4 as well. It should double sales, but it won't be a prolonged boost.

 

So yeah. Had both happened at the same time, like with what happened in Japan, I could see the boost temporarily at least reversing its fortunes. But only one or the other will make little impact, I fear. Hope Im wrong, but...well.
