Forums - Sales Discussion - Which sells more and which is on the market longer WII U or VITA?

Hey guys forgive if this out there already but I was just thinking about this.  Both conoles have been on the market close to the same time and are around the same sales at this point and both have around the same sales at this point in their life.  I don't see anything really briniging sales up for the vita at all.  The vita has a 1 million lead roughly and Zelda is still comming so that may give it the boost to surpase the Vita.  Also which product is taken of the market faster.  Sony is as everybody knows not making and AAA games any more and the WII U has 2 big ones left at this point we know about (Zelda and the new Mario).  I'm going to say myself that the VITA will just linger for remote play basically.



Around the Network

The Vita has steady sales, enough support from japanese 3rd parties and indies to keep its niche audience happy, and I'm sure it at least makes enough profit to keep around (at least until Sony decides to make a Vita emulator on the PS4 or PS Now, or something like that). The WiiU definitively has the bigger games, but without support from anyone else, the moment the NX comes around the console is going to be completely abandoned by everyone. So Vita will last longer. At the very least it will last until Nintendo's next handheld arrives and steals the show in Japan.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
