PS Vita will outsell Wii U lifetime. Do you agree or not?

Some facts that might point to it:
- PS Vita yet to receive a price cut; it will always be cheaper than the Wii U;
- PS Vita already outselling Wii U in Europe (4 consecutive weeks now);
- PS Vita's competition is already out; Wii U's true competition is yet to come and it's falling short of sales targets already;
- PS Vita's integration with PS3, PS4, PSN and PlayStation Plus could very well give it a boost via bundling or strong PS4 sales in the future; Wii U's networking services and integration don't look as strong;
- PS Vita is more likely to receive third party support than the Wii U once the new next gen consoles come out.

You skipped over one very important thing.
The PSVita doesn't have Nintendo First Party games.

Gamecube had Nintendo first party.

PSP didn't.

PSP outsold Gamecube by 3:1.

Anything could happen, Nintendo first party or not.



Arguable, but possible. I mean, the PSP is still ahead of the PS3, is it not? I don't see it happening personally but never rule it out. Though if it does outsell the Wii U, it'll also likely outsell the other consoles as well.

Wii U- 72mil
PSV- 49mil



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I suppose anything is possible at this point, but all 3 home consoles are set to overtake PSP sales. Wii is already ahead and Xbox 360 and PS3 will do it before the year is out. Those systems are currently twice the price of the PSP as of now. 

I doubt the Wii U will sell on par with the Wii, but I have even bigger doubts the Vita will push even half of the PSP's numbers at this point.



Not at all.

Wii U will pass Vita lifetime in Japan at the latest by Summer with Dragon Quest X, Game & Wario, Pikmin and Wii Fit U.

Wii U will pass Vita lifetime in U.S. at the latest by May with Monster Hunter, Rayman Legends, Lego City, Wii Fit U, and Pikmin.

Europe is up in the air as it is Sony country.

In the end, Wii U will pass Vita.
