No it won't. The inherent latency of the Internet and availability will just make Remote Play be used mostly at home. Once a person goes out, they will mostly likely just play more Vita native games.
This will just increase the Vita's install base.
In the end, it's exclusive games that will sell a console.
Hypothetically, let's say the Nintendo's 3DS can be used to stream Wii U games just like Remote Play (and Wii U sold a lot). It doesn't mean that Nintendo would stop producing games for the 3DS.
Nintendo will just grab the opportunity of the larger install base of both consoles and make exclusive games for both to maximize profit.
I bet Sony would do the same if the Vita sells a lot because of Remote Play.
Just like what Nintendo does with Mario. Sony will have an excuse to make more games from the same franchise because of one game being exclusive to a portable and another exclusive to home console.
Same as having a Mario on home console and another Mario on portable console.
Make a slight change on one version like multiplayer and poof you get to sell both.
