Forums - Sales Discussion - When will WiiU pass PS Vita?

I hope it never does, but I kinda think it's gonna happen late 2014 or early 2015.

 

Some predictions here are soooo funny now


Yours is already funny.

Guess you have a peculiar sense of humour.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Early next year, by the time Mario Kart 8 arrives.



If I said this when the thread was made, I would be called a troll. In 2014.



"Why is that?"

Because I want the Vita to sell more than it and I just don't want the Wii U to succeed.

Glorious.



If it does it will be Christmas 2014, when the usual crazy nintendo boosts might carry it past Vita, if only briefly - if Nintendo still haven't solved the SW shortages and there are still droughts, then it will crash back after Xmas and Vita will nibble away at the lead.

However, WiiU does have Smash and MK8, and the former in particular could be decisive, but if the 3DS port is very good, its impact will be reduced. It will still shift lots of HW though

On the other hand, PSV seems to have stabilized a little better in Japan than WiiU and it also does significantly better in EU, with a few new games in 2014 it may just stay ahead. That is quite a big if though, we'll have to wait and see how the Vita lineup in 2014 shapes up

PSV will win LTD I think though, combination of Sony legs and superior 3rd party support in Japan especially, so although I think they may well cross streams, if they do I expect them to cross back over eventually. WiiU will have to do or die in 2014 (not literally, I don't think nintendo will kill it before its time), if 4Bone end up really hurting it then even its big games may not have all that large an impact

This is barring any ridiculous upswing for nintendo, i.e. the unlikely event that they might recapture the Wii audience (personally though I think most people would admit that they're long gone)

As someone who has a rough idea of what were going to be looking at as far as shipments go I assure you Nintendo is shipping MUCH more than 400k units

Demand for Wii U and Vita isnt even compareable I worked the launch period of both consoles. Nintendo will sell through as many as they ship, as long as they can keep a decent level of shipments they will pass the Vita before 2013

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
