According to SCEA's hardware marketing VP John Koller, around one in three Vita owners also own a PS4.
Koller said the impressive attach rate is thanks to the PS4's Remote Play feature, which lets users play PS4 games on the Vita via a high-speed wireless connection that's much improved over PS3 Remote Play.

"I think that's great news for all of our independent developers as well as front-line developers and publishers as well. It's a good market for us right now."
Koller also said that almost half of all PlayStation Vita software is purchased digitally (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/449153/almost-half-of-all-ps-vita-games-are-purchased-digitally/).
The new slim PlayStation Vita will arrive in North America (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/448987/ps-vita-slim-hitting-us-in-spring-with-borderlands-2-bundle/) "this spring" with a $199 Borderlands 2 bundle, Sony announced at the same event.
