Why the PS Vita/PS3 combination can’t compete with the Wii U

That Wii U userbase is overshadowing that Vita user base. And new consumers are more able to pay $300/$350 than the 66 million are to pay $250/$300.

I understand that having it all in box is important, but would it kill for them or any other third party to release a port? Atleast they would have a larger install base than a launching console. Isn't multiplatforming considered a good thing most of the time?

In Japan, the Vita costs 25,000 yen/30,000 yen (wifi/3G). The Wii U will cost 26,250 yen/31,500 yen (basic/premium). In other words they are almost the same price.(not to mention you still have to buy your Vita memory card) The ps3 is also 25,000 yen/30,000 yen for (250gb/500gb).

So you can play the games like that with the Wii U or you can fork out the same amount of money for a Vita and hope the game gets ported, assuming you have a ps3.

I sold my ps3 not too long ago and I have no plans to get a Vita (I have too many 3ds games as is!) I have my Wii U pre-ordered.
