I'm one of all of those, but that really just goes to show that I'm in a small minority.

As cool as the remote play is in that it actually works (playing PS4 games through any WiFi connection), I admit that I don't use it; I tried it a few times as a novelty to confirm that it was awesome, which it is, but haven't used it since because I'm not like the guy in the PSV commercial who plays games in the morning before going off to work and then continues his game on the commuter train and again at work while on breaks.

60% of PS4 owners seems high.

It isn't 60% of PS4 owners, the article is just misleading. The closed door meeting was this week, so I think its safe to assume that this 1 in 3 number is from the beginning of February. The 4.2 million number used by IGN to get to 60% is from December 28th though. Right now its probably less than 50% of PS4 owners that also have a Vita.

Less than 50% could mean a lot of things. 25% is less than 50% although I don't think it's that low.

I also figure that the majority of PSV buyers were either heavy Playstation brand consumers (who have owned everything PS), uber gadget geeks who buy all sorts of portable devices and the smallest group being PS4 owners who wanted the PSV for the "satellite" use functions. 

Although if you think about it any PS+ subscribers should also be potential PSV buyers since their subscription gives them full access to quite a few good PSV games. I'm not convinced Sony marketing is pushing that value proposition as much as they should. If one owns a PS3, PS4 and PSV, that is a lot of content they're allowed to play on a single subscription.
