Both are in a runt.  And need a rebound.

But the Wii U has already done more than half of the Vita's numbers in less than 6 months, and is outselling it on a weekly basis (tho small).

Which is sad in both cases really. : /

In Japan maybe, in Europe/North America no chance. Mario Kart U alone is far bigger than anything the Vita will get for the West.


all those mario games didn't save the n64/gamecube

The Vita is selling worse than the GameCube in the West. And far (faaaaaar) worse than the N64. The N64 actually was very strong in North America.

so is the wii u, the vita atleast has japan to save it, while the wii u doesn't

plus the wii u is only slightly outselling the vita in america, while we have no clue what is selling more in europe

The vita sales  have already almost dropped to pre-pricecut levels in Japan, it is not the saviour region you make it out to be.

And also proves that price cuts won't work in the long run if you don't have the games to keep the momentum.

Hence why I see no logic in people asking for Wii U price cuts until the games start coming.

Wii U has to undersell the GameCube to keep pace with the Vita. Less than 5 million sold after over a full year on market is a level of epic fail.

Um where?  One of the "other"  countries (outside US, Europe, and Japan)?

Cause it's lowest region of "other" is currently around 200,000 according to VGC

Rule no. 1 of VGC: All WiiU or Vita threads must become Wiiu vs. Vita threads.

OT: Holy shit EA, you're still releasing FIFA on PS2.

Anyway, I thought EA had to release Madden games on all consoles? Or is that some other franchise?



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Going by one week of sales after 6 months of release isn't the best method of determining sales.....
