Wii sales keeping on dropping this way, if there will still be any left! Who could have imagined this even two Xmas ago, when in a few weeks Wii filled the gap gained by PS3 during almost the whole year...

So this gen they'll reach about half of PS2 lol.  And PS360 passed Wii, didn't know it happened already.

Duh.. let me spell it out for you:

From fall on, there will be essentially two groups of buyers:

a) Wii people wanting "more power": They will gravitate towards the WiiU, not the PS3 for obvious reasons

b) People wanting a "powerful console": They will also gravitate towards the WiiU, not the PS3 (newer,shinier, etc..)

There will be a nonessential group of people that want "A console to play": They will buy a Wii, not a PS3 or WiiU

In the end (neglecting Xbox360  in the equation for equally obviuos resons), the WiiU WILL take away PS3 sales.

seriously vita will be a huge success in japan. below 10k? wasnt the ps3 selling like only 5k in japan at one point? things will change for the vita

Doubt Sony will be happy when Vita sells half of what the PSP did in Japan.

Ouch. Poor Vita

I dont really get the doom calling. If a console dont selling as much as predictet that doesnt automatically mean that it is doomed.

The PS3 was once called doom and look at it now. its the best selling home consoel every week.
Two years ago the psp was called dead and now it survived for another two years and became the best selling handheld for most weeks in japan.

Sure the PS Vita dont sell to well right now, but in the end i think it will be a huge success.
There are so many factors that will increase sales.

-price cut
-E3
-gamescom
-tokio game show
-captivate
-Black friday deals
-Christmas boost
-Games like Persona 4 ect will also boost sales.

So calling a console/handheld doomed without beeing a year on sale is just stupid thinking in my opinion.
But seroiusly what do people expekt from the vita. You cant sell a console with ports and some mini games.
The only good title at start was Uncharted Golden Abyss. If this game havent release at start than the Vita would be in really bad shape.

The same problem will Nintendo have with the Wii U. Why should i buy a Wii U if i only get some ports like Batman Arkham City, Ninja Gaiden 3 and so on. Why should i buy a Wii U if i get Assassins creed 3 on my pS3 as well.

In the end i also think the Wii u will be fine because of games like Super Marion and co. But it also can end like the GameCube. The Game Cube also has Super mario, Zelda, Mario Kart,Mario Party, Pikmin and only managed to sell 20 M. It depends if the 3rd Party support the maschine in a good way. Will a company willing to spend more money in the Wii U version or will a company just port a PS3 X Box 360 game to the Wiiu. All Factors that matters.
