Makes sense. So far the PS4 sold mostly to the hardcore fan base who are most likely to own a Vita. I don't think this will necessarily lead to a big push for Vita.

That 60% of PS4 owners are filthy rich?   

However, 48% of Vita Software sales being digital means Uncharted likely sold more than that. PS+ sales get added on top of that.

So the most recent cross format mainstream title spinoff that was on both formats underperformed on all handheld systems. Fair enough, but remember the 3DS installbase is approx 6x that of Vita. So if Vita outsells anything at all, it's outperforming the equivalent 3DS sales.

And Final Fantasy is clearly underperforming on PS3 as Vita sales aren't too far off.

This is my point. Vita excels, in anything, and your response is "underperformance" elsewhere. Maybe Vita is just punching above it's weight? This would be the most likely explanation given how strongly the smaller companies like Aksys and XSEED are supporting Vita. They aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, they've clearly found a market that is receptive to their products.

This could just mean that a bunch of guys bought Vita before they bought a PS4, because obviously PS Vita sales haven't spiked to match PS4 sales. Anyway this stat is kind of meaningless.

Collecting data, how much accounts are connected with a Vita AND a PS4 or collecting data, how much Vitas are registered for remote play on PS4 systems is comparable to the steam hardware survey or how many miles were driven in Forza 5 or how many kils/headshots were made in Halo, Killzone or Dead Rising.

The number of people in the living room + face recognition and how they react to situations in a game/movie (facial expressions, pulse frequency) and other data which can be used for personalized advertisement (clothing, furniture) are much more personal datas IMHO.

Thing is, if everyone is always complaining that psfans dominate the internet, then there shouldn't be any problem. PS4 will logically dominate sales so long as psfan = sale

psn+ is a great tool for getting people to buy more playstation family systems once you've invested in it. 1 payment for a games collection on ps3/4 and Vita. If you have a Ps4 with psn+ for online play you pretty much cover the price of buying a vita with all the free games you'll get for it. Genius from Sony as long as it doesn't cost them too much to acquire those games for the service.

Great news. Vita clearly appeals to the Sony fan base.

I could believe about 50% of Vita software sales are digital. But I wonder if PS+ downloads count as a purchase and I assume many of those purchases are cheap downloads like PSone games..

I am part of this xD Though I haven't played either one much because of school :'(

Remote play absolutely sucks donkey balls. I have both a PS Vita and PS4 and I like both consoles, but the remote play feature that Sony likes to show off is horrendous. Graphically the games look fine through remote play, but the lag in the controls completely kills it. This isn't just a little bit of lag, it is unplayable levels of lag. I tried COD Ghosts on Vita with the feature and even moving your character around feels like a task, let alone doing anything else. Sony really needs to improve this feature manifold before it can even be put as a bullet point on the back of the box.
