I was one from people that thought that Wii U will beat Vita at end, but of course I thought Nintendo will keep supporting Wii U longer and that we will have Wii U successor later, instead Wii U was discounted only around 5 years after arrived on market.

In any case, 16m for Vita was very long ride (6.5 years) and question is if Vita will hit 17m.

Well its shocking vita sold more considering Sony abandoned it so soon yet the Wii u got some big franchises from Nintendo. Splatoon, Mario, smash, Mario kart etc. It just shows this software alone isn't enough for Nintendo to move a traditional home console anymore. It either needs to be portable or have something like the motion controls that shot the Wii to stardom. 

Not relly shocking at all, Wii U was considered for fail in its first year, didn't had one single price cut through hole its life span, and was discounted only around 5 years after arrived on market. Wii U had some big games but they all come on system when was too late and was Wii U widely accepted like failed console without future, and big games later couldnt changed that point. You can bet that if Wii U on launch or in its first year had games like Splatoon, Mario Maker and MK8, Wii U sales number wouldnt be so bad, I mean thats reason why Nintendo prepared Zelda BotW, MK8, Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey for Switch 1st 10 months on market compared to Wii U, they know thats one of biggest resons why Wii U failed so bad.
