Forums - Gaming Discussion - Are the poor performances of the Vita and Wii U a sign of things to come?

D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DOOOOOOM THREAD. 34 HIT COMBO. GOD-LIKE.

Not really. Vita flopping is because 3DS has more software support and more casual appeal. Vita is the same price a tablet, where games are much cheaper and tablets in general are much more desired.

Wiiu flopping relates to the decline of the Wii brand in general. A 2012 console that doesn't have better graphics than a 7 year old console makes it completely worthless in most peoples books



By Christmas, this will all be a bad memory. It's the 3DS launch all over, again.



I wouldn't group them together. Vita is just plain losing. WiiU is enjoying a head start.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

PS vita failed because of not having one killer ip, not having an official price cut and bad word out of mouth, high price tag ( compared to 3ds) and to many ports instead of system sellers.

Wii U failed because- wrong advertising, no games after launch, to many ports.

I still think that people only dont knwo what to buy right now. Should they buy a PS3 or wait for PS4, should they buy x360 or the next x box., should the buy Wii U or a PS3. I think most peole really dont know what to buy and simply wait till they are convined for some product etc.

Wii U sales are dropping closer and closer to current Vita's sales numbers. I wouldn't call that "enjoying" anything.

I know Wii U will take off once Nintendo releases its 1st party games, but I think the cealing for Wii U is aroung 45 million units. Vita's is probably only a bit lower, but it can sell more games, especially 3rd party games.



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.

Everyone's waiting for a next box or ps4.... I mean the only people I see that should be interested in the wii u are wii owners because its an upgrade or die hard nintendo fans, everyone else it would be like purchasing the same 7 year old console a ll over again!



I agree - 720/PS4 will do no better

No, both are overpriced for their market and both are not being supported properly by their manufacturers (Nintendo's crappy marketing of Wii U and Son'y crappy support of Vita releases). The 3DS was doing terribly until its price cut as well. Both of them need price cuts soon (especially the Vita).

I wouldnot call Wii U and Vita overpriced.
