Let's look at this the other way.
If Nintendo somehow get the WiiU to take off, Sony may lose their only momentum for the rest of this gen which is the PS3 and there is no sign VITA would take off any time soon. Hopefully Sony does not stay with the PS3 for another two years and repeat the same mistake they made with PS3 and VITA launch. They can't afford to dig out a grave launch situation again since this time they do not have the mad profit made from previous generation. This is not to mention the potential challenge that will come from Microsoft.
Maybe neither VITA or Wii U would take off as expected. In such case, there will be no new challenger for 3DS while Sony would still face the challange from Microsfot not only for this gen (360) but also next gen. How would Sony look then?
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
