My thoughts on this are summed up to this: Nintendo failed to sell the GBA on Gamecube connectivity, Sony will fail to sell the Vita based on PS4 connectivity. It's just too expensive. The system will be at LEAST $399 bucks, but to tack on another $250 on top of that to do something your competitor already does? There just aren't enough games to sell the Vita as is, so it seems like Sony is desperate, and trying to play the Vita off as some sort of Wii U like device.
Even if I COULD afford all this, my internet sucks too much here to properly stream as much as Sony seems to want me to stream. I have a bandwidth cap, I have slow upload speeds, and my download speeds are always bogged down. I love the look of the vita, it's stylish, it's got a beautiful screen, and it's got dual analog sticks, but there just isn't enough of a library for me to justify a purchase, and cross play isn't enough for me to justify a purchase either. Why would I play the game on a small screen and tinny speakers, when I have my 55" HDTV with surround sound?
Quick Edit: I didn't mean to say that the GBA was a failure, as it sold quite well, but it was backed up by an AWESOME library of games.
I'm the result of someone exclusively playing Final Fantasy XI from the PS2 release till 2010, and only stopping for small bouts of catch up.
