Not that I don't agree with the general sentiment of your post, but this sentence seems horrifically out of place. What's the "solid" 3rd party support Vita has gotten?
In the west, arguably Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Need for Speed plus Madden & FIFA. All games which Wii-U has it in its launch window. Yes, the Call of Duty & Assassin's Creed were original games, but are you really trying to say that Black Ops Declassified was an example of "solid" 3rd party support?
In Japan, I only really see Persona & Miku (possibly Gundam & Tales of Innocence as well). None of them even remotely as big an IP as Dragon Quest which Wii-U is again getting in its launch window.
Other than that, it's pretty much just ports. Which is simply a product of having been on the market for 1 year 2 months instead of just 2 months (i.e. I'm sure Wii-U will have similar levels of "solid 3rd party support" when it's been on the market for a year and two months).
Like I say, it's not that I don't agree with the general sentiment of your post - Wii-U will pick up steam once it gets proper first party titles, and I'm sure it'll overtake Vita at that point. I just don't really see why you inserted that sentence I quoted. 3rd party support for Vita has been questionable at best and laughable at most, which is arguably the reason it's struggling at the moment.
