You mean the Vita version that had a simultaneous release with the other versions? The Vita version that released to a console with an actual install base (albeit a small one) in America?

So what about the 360 version in '05 and the PS3 version in '06 that both launched late to consoles with no install base.  Also the Vita version is about 10x higher than the Wii U version.  Also so far in 2013 the Vita version is outselling the Wii U 4.2:1 at a time when their install bases are now relatively close and of course release date no longer matters.  Of course, the Vita does have a bundle which muddies the numbers.  However if someone is buying a VIta for Madden that probably counts for something.

Did the 360 not have an obvious instant selling point of being the only HD version? A simple yet large difference visually between versions. The Wii U version had no such selling point.

If people are buying Vitas for Madden, that speaks more to the kind of people who buy Vitas than it does the supposed unviability of the Wii U.
