The original PSP had the ability to remotely connect to the PS3 sort of like a Citrix connection. While you could only play Lair, PSOne games were playable along with the ability to log into the PlayStation Store and queue up content downloads. Despite a limited feature set, Sony did experiment with this functionality and it's conceivable that it can be expanded on better hardware.
The Wii U has the ability to stream the game to it's LCD controller. While the technology isn't new, they key words are "low" and "latency". The stream is 1:1 or very close to 1:1. What I'm proposing is to replicate this cross connectivity with the PS3/PSVita, specifically the stream function.
Not all games will have a PSVita version of the game where you can transfer the save file to continue on the PS3 or vice versa. Allow the PSVita user to remotely play a PS3 game by streaming the image to the lovely 5 inch OLED screen. The user can continue to play the game while the HDTV is used for other purposes like watching cable TV or Netflix. The PSVita can be used as the Dual Shock 3 controller with the rear touch pad serving as virtual buttons for L2 and R2.
