Not enough.
They already tried in Japan.
Having more substantial software is the real fix but a temporary fix aka price drop.. isn't bad either.. specially if you can't make a steady stream of "AAA" VITA software.
There's plenty of gameplay of Senran Kagura Burst on youtube.
It's a 2.5 D beat-em-up.
That sounds sad.
Then again, VITA base is that much starved.
Nah.
Put a small banner comparing PSV and PS4 standalone prices beside the PSV + PS4 bundle.
= Problem mostly solved.
$ 499.99 is too low. It could cause some backlash on Sony's pockets and a heavier perception on how bad and overpriced the VITA is.
Nice.. maybe they'll port other GTA's on iOS/Android soon.
It actually can do 32.
Don't expect the graphics to stay the same if the successor to KZM would have 16 player MP.
4v4 limit is due to graphics from a Killzone Game Director:

With all the 180 MS is doing, count on it that they can do more if such a bundle is officially announced.
I only see it happening if Sony deems the MS threat worthy of such a "deal" this early.
Otherwise, little reason to take a loss when you don't have to (just yet), specially if you don't pump out a very steady stream of substantial software (looks at VITA).
Maybe a year or two from now once the trending of X1 and PS4 can be more easily projected.
Attract more customers to iOS/Android since they'll be seeing more PS iconic figures there from now on, with the looks of it.
So what's next?
Gameloft paying royalties for a cheap HALO/KZM game for mobile?
The PS4?
IDK.. could before 2014 and as early as Nov. it seems.
Still don't see it happening.
A 500 dollar bundle for a PSV and PS4 is a likely a "loss" unless the PS4 package itself is overpriced.
VITA costs like what? 130-160 bucks to manufacture? How about shipping, customs and resources to maintain relationship with retailers so they carry it?
I don't think Sony's that desperate to handle that much loss for questionable boosts that could be temporary.
I'm not...
OK deal if you want it now.
I'd personally rather wait for BF/Holidays deal.
Sony software engineers can't do scaling options?
1:1
"half"
"full screen"
*gasp*
Even if the VITA costs 100-130 USD, what about the shipping and customs? Don't think these things are manufactured in the West.
No.
I seriously doubt a $ 499.99 PS4 + PSV Bundle unless the PS4 itself is "overpriced".
I found WRPGs generally more immersive.
Da/De Souls almost didn't felt like a "JRPG".
Because of budget and studio size, I think it's pretty hard for JRPG to catch up on the ranks of the more popular WRPGs.
I hope FFXV delivers relative to recent WRPGs.
20-30 USD price drop.
Nah.
Plenty of hackers/crackers know their way around Android.
The last thing the VITA needs right now is pirated VITA games and Android OS is a precursor to that.
Now, a FILTERED Google Play Store Access may be a better solution.
It happened in Japan and it went back to similar numbers pre price drop.
Software is where it's at.
A temporary fix is better than none tho.
Plus, the VITA could've done worse w/o the price cut :P
CTRL + F: 3DS
WOW!
