Forums - Sales Discussion - Can the WiiU outsell the PS Vita?

Wii U outsells Vita in US and EU every week and the Vita barely outsells it in Japan weekly. So yes, it will catch up and sell more.

The PS Vita has sold more this year and is currently ahead lifetime. This is including Japan, the WiiU's strongest market, and in Europe. While the Vita may not get any other major releases the WiiU has gotten nearly all of Nintendo's biggest franchises except for Zelda. Not to mention the Vita can still use a price cut (along with the memory cards) and it should be on the market longer then 2016. What do you think? 

This implies that Wii U cant have price cut, which is ridiculous.

WiiU normally outsells Vita during the holidays, and by a large margin, so I think it can outsell it lifetime, but the gap will be small. Maybe 2-3 million at most.

This is true.



yeah, ps vita is a thing of the past and there's 0 hype for the games. wii u is not the most hyped machine, but games like mario maker, pokken tournament and zelda wii u could do the trick. not by much tho!



It's possible, but I'm not sure if it can

Yes, I don't know when and by what amount, but it will outsell the Vita.



You guys must be crazy. I'm sorry, but I just can't believe what I'm seeing here!

Vita has got a massive (when we're talking about these two bomba consoles) lead and Wii U is about to be killed and all support from Nintendo is to be dropped. The difference is almost a quarter of lifetime Wii U sales!! A quarter!!

There is no way in hell Wii U outsells Vita. The very day that Nintendo announces the next console, Wii U stops selling. Vita won't be replaced in years (if ever) and it still has many games from big franchises coming. Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, the new Minecraft, Ys, Digimon, VLR3, etc. These games will move consoles in Japan and we are about to get a bunch of new announcements on TGS. You guys are underestimating Vita so badly, you should be ashamed of yourself.

On the other hand Wii U is only getting crappy Amiibo grames, Pokken, SMTxFE and its swan song in Zelda U, which will be a multiplat either way. That's a recipe for outselling Vita? Right. Get real people.



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.

I doubt it. Wii U only outsells Vita during the holidays and it has maybe two good holidays left to make up over 2 million, probably not going to happen. The only thing that could change things is if Vita gets discontinued way before the Wii U does. 

Besides if there's one console that has a more pathetic release schedule than Vita it's the Wii U by a country mile.

The Vita doesn't profit nearly as much as the Wii U from the holiday season. And while Vita is still up front in Japan, the sales are going down there as well and are now very close to those of the Wii U, which is trending up.

So yes, I believe Wii U will get past the Vita


And this has to do with the thread becaaaaauuuuseee...

If you read the whole sentence, you'd know that he was saying Wii U sells way more than Vita during the holidays.
