Given that the Vita got a price cut in Japan today and there's no word on a cut in the rest of the world, would Sony be silly enough not to announce one on the 20th? And even if they did don't they risk the news either overshadowing the PS4 news or being buried by that news if it is compelling enough? Somehow, I think that Sony haven't properly co-ordinated their events this week.

Why would they not announce it at the event? Do you really think Sony are only going to be talking about the PS4? E3 is in a couple months, and they will obviously leave a lot of PS4 stuff for there.
The event will most definitely have some mention of the PS3 and the PSV. Perhaps price cuts for both, solidifying the current known line-up for the remainder of the year (perhaps announcing that some Japan only games are coming to the West).
How do you figure that a price cut for the PSV is going to overshadow the announcement of the PS4? Really, that is not going to happen. PSV price cut is just going to be a nice cherry on the top to round off the event for investors.

Because it is Sony and they don't seem to talk to each other and they may see the Vita a Japan success and a worldwide flop. Also if they split the message on the 20th between teh PS3, Vita and the PS4 they risk diluting the PS4 excitement. This is a great opportunity to steal a march in MS and to show some games on the PS4 first. We know Battlefield 4, AC 4, Watchdogs and Star Wars 1313 are multi platform, but to show them first on their console creates a huge amount of buzz and positive feedback. Do that, don't arsefart about with your history and your 20 year life cycle of the PS3. Do talk about the Vita and how it will work with the PS4 and that is why we are going to get a price cut, but don't focus on the Vita. Focus on the PS4 and blow our socks off and create hype and anticipation for E3 and the full reveal.
Just announcing a PSV cut will overshadow a poor PS4 announcement because that is what people have being waiting for. Even worse will be the rumoured hardware upgrade for the PSV, just don't do that now. Focus should be on the PS4 and how other products will integrate into that.
Sony have just had so many PR missteps and I think we have just seen another. I am happy to be wrong, I I like all the consoles and competition is good.
