Remote play between the PS4 and Vita is one of the biggest focuses by Sony for the next generation, especially since almost all PS4 games will support the feature, with games being reliant on the PS4 camera being the exception. There has been speculation that a PS4/Vita bundle is in the works at Sony due to such a focus, so OPM asked Sony’s Fergal Gara about the likelihood of such a package.
“At the moment sat down with our retail partners discussing exactly what they want the PS4 launch pack to look like. And its very easy for us to work with them and say looks lets create a package that contains PS Plus, Killzone Shadow Fall, PS Vita, PS4, shall we do that?… Would we work with them to support them to make that it happen? Yes.”
Sony appear to be open to new bundle ideas being suggested by retailers, allowing for different titles to be switched in and out of proposed ideas. However, whether such a bundle will definitely be available to consumers is still unknown.
“So there is interest in the mechanic. Right now, as I sit here today, we’re not producing a box that fits a PS4 and PS Vita in that one box. We we could probably change our mind in the morning and still have it ready for launch to be honest so it’s not a big decision. It’s not a hard thing to do”.
The Vita itself experienced a large jump in sales following E3 and gamescom, and with the announcement of Vita TV at the Japanese PlayStation conference, things look bright for the console. There’s still two months between now and launch of the PS4 so Sony do have plenty of time to decide to go down a PS4/Vita bundle route.
If a bundle containing both consoles was announced would you get it?
