No way ps4 will spend a extra 170 dollars to this fonctionnality it's only great for people who already have both console.

It's not only this functionality (which is really awesome), but also for all the PSV games they are gonna get from the mandatory PS+ that will keep telling them - you already have exclusive Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Assassin's Creed (I take it for granted that it hits PS+ soon, in early 2014) and a bunch of other great games, you are missing out on so much fun! Just get the portable! 3 months into PS+ they will already have over 10 PSV games including many must-have titles. This PS4-PSV integration is playing for the long run, it's not meant to give a huge boost just this holiday when PS4 enters the market. While PSV will struggle to be up YoY in 2013, it should easily achieve this in 2014. Can't tell by how much, considering we know only about +/- 15-20 no gamez to be released next year, but the PS4 effect alone should carry it to better sales.

I don't understand your point of you ,you say people would buy a vita because of ps+ and then you say ps4 will help vita i don't see a relation.

PS+ is pretty much mandatory on PS4, so millions of people will buy it soon. When a PS4 owner gets it, he will get 2 PSV games a month on top of the yearly titles and thus will build a significant portfolio of awesome games whether he wants it or not After some 3 months they'll have around 10 great Vita games and will suddenly start to think "Hmm, I am missing out on so many games, this console isn't actually all that expensive and I don't even have to buy a single game to get hours of gameplay and get remoteplay on top of that!" This will be a huge incentive.

So in short:

PS4 = PS+
PS+ = tons of PSV games
tons of PSV = a huge incentive to get the console

This is why PS4 should improve PSV sales, but it won't be a sudden burst and it won't happen overnight, not this Christmas. It will happen over time, in 2014 and 2015 and should cause a more steady increase, thanks to which PSV will be up YoY in 2014.
