I don't think is in Sony's interest to do this.

When the PS4 is going to sell anyway most of the bundles will be PS4 buyers just looking to make a quick buck. Sony would be taking away the profit margins of both pieces of hardware just for Vitas to end up on ebay.

The idea of selling hardware with little to no profit is to make profit from the games they'll buy.  Vita demand on ebay may spike a little with resellers outdoing eachother for low price, but it'll just be a blip of new Vita owners.

Sony should stick to selling Vitas to people who want one, even if small at least do not sacrifice profit margins of Vita and PS4 for little gain.


With a price-cut on the Vita putting it at $199 or $175 the profit margains for resellers won't be that great.

 

If they pay the extra $100 for the Vita, after taxes it'll contribute $106 to the cost of their purchase, if they sell the Vita for $150 on ebay they'd only make a $40 profit and if they try to make even higher profits then an used Vita at gamestop would be their competitor. Honestly if the Vita gets a price-cut I doubt many people will find buying the bundle to ressell it worth it.

 

Also if they could afford to do this, would be a megaton. Offering a PS Vita + PS4 vs Xbone + Kinect isn't even a contest.

You could always offer a friend the opportunity of getting a Vita for a reduced price. Just add a little on for yourself.

If I wouldn't own a Vita already, I would buy such a bundle.

I really doubt it will be true but a $100 Vita would be absolutely insane.

Anybody with an interest in both devices would be hard pressed to not go in on that deal. However, I doubt it happens, too good of a deal.

Wow, that is a really good price if true. I've had no interest in the Vita but I would buy that bundle at that price.

Most of my friends are PC gamers. They don't care about the PSVita. And even the one guy who does have a console doesn't care about the Vita. It's deader than dead in Germany. I got 330€ worth of console, memory card, games and accessoires for 140€ (Shipping included). If I sold a bare-bones Vita from that bundle (would a memory card even be included?) I wouldn't even get the 100€, which this Vita would ultimately cost me, back.

PS4 for 399€ it is.

This going to be great bundle ever released as we can play almost every PS4 game via remote play in vita along with On the go Vita games which is really a great value.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

this bundle should do good. they should announce this at gamescom like this:

- show some new vita games first
- show more of "old" ps4 games
- show some new ps4 games
- talk about that remote play feature, and really show it
- announce the bundle with ps4 + vita

and that's it.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse
