It's happened here in Europe. America will eventually adopt it but sales will be the same plus ~PS Camera sales. It's going to be viewed as an accessory to some.

I must have missed this.

The PS4 effect was the last straw a lot of fans tried to grasp, but nothing happened so far and nothing will happen.

Here's an article which signifies the effect that the PS4's launch had on the Vita in the UK: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/12/19/ps4-launch-boosts-ps-vita-sales

The Vita sold a whopping 5.8k in the week the PS4 released, up from 3.2k the week before. And this was just before the holidays, even the Xbox 360 was up 20% this week and I doubt the Xbox 360 benefited from the PS4 launch.

An increase is an increase, there are always underlying factors. As someone who lives in the UK, I noticed that some people were buying the PS4/Vita Bundle as they were unable to purchase the solus thanks to the retailers which would explain the increase. There was nothing being released on the Vita so the PS4 sales have most definitely affected the Vita sales. With the 360, it sells well consistently and there were offers for it on that specific week.
