Forums - Sales Discussion - What will get to 10 million first, Wii U or Vita?

Wii u!wii u could reach it by the end of year,I know it isn't so easy!If wii u don't sell 10m by th end of the year,it will do it for sure by the end of January 2015!Vita started to struggle even in Japan...!
Vita sold 800k in December 2013 thanks to Japan and it had a 20k-30k pre-holiday baseline there,now that we saw vita selling 8-10k in Japan,how confident could be a guy who would say vita instead of wii u?
I would be surprised if it will have sold more than the half of its last December sales this Dec...

Vita can't sell almost 800.000 units before the WiiU sells 2.000.000 units. Vita is reaching its 5th year with only one succesful market. The WiiU, while having poor sales, has a bigger market and more system sellers. The only thing that can change that is a Monster Hunter Vita.

Also, neither of them will reach the 10m this holydays.


vita's not even 3 yet, and in some regions its just over 2 years.

i dont see where you got 5 years from, 

you are ~2.5 years off



 

I can see this now being the Vita that gets there first. Just over a month ago I thought it would have been the Wii U. Times quickly change!

I hate this certainty of my comment,usually I'm cautious!How I fell into the trap of dogmatism?F@uck me!

At least,i predicted ps vita's sales rightly and the phrase in bold is almost valid and I say almost because vita didn't even manage to sell the half of its last December(800k) sales this December(300k)!This comment was when(Ioi hadn't given us numbers of black friday week)I was expecting 10m wii u by the end of the 2014,after the black friday week data here,I immediately reduced it to 9.2m.

*It isn't overtracked maybe undertracked!

Nintendo shipped 1.95m last year,wii u is at 7.29m shipped as of 27th September!Sales of wii u have been significantly improved worldwide ,except Japan where they were considerably down!

Nintendo if has't outshipped the same quarter last year,at least(worst scenario) they must have shipped the same amount!So 1.95m+7.29m=9.24m(SHIPPED AS OF 27TH DEC)...9.24m-8.9m(VGC)=324k on the shelves,pretty logical for wii u and even more than enough...

Wii U has greater chance of sales spikes. Sony has done all it can for Vita, even the PS TV hasn't jump started sales



The vita. The holiday season is over and with no significant releases anytime soon I think the vita will make it to 10 million before the wii u. Still pretty sure the wii u will outsell the vita in the long run though.



 

lol this has been the question since 2012 and it still hasn't happened.
