WiiU is saved!

According to CNET it sold 57k, NOT 55k!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10797_3-57569583-235/uh-oh-nintendo-sold-57000-wii-u-units-in-the-u.s-in-january/

Good news everyone! Seriously though, every unit counts now.

We can round up to 60k

60k? SAVED!!! 

Ah, still tragic though, but every k makes a big difference.

Might be tragic, but at least it's almost 2x Vita.

lol it sure is :)

Still the Vita wasn't released 3 months ago, so if you put things in perspective, the Wii U is doing worse actually.

I say drop the price of both those devices and save the industry; Sony and Nintendo.

I never understood this. Consoles never sell their best in their first year on the market, or their second. It's normally the third and fourth, when the consoles are at their peak, there's a steady flow of game releases, the general public know about the system and devs have had time to get used to the console where it sells the most. So the Vita should be selling above the Wii U (not to include the fact that it's a handheld which always sell more as a general rule) because of all the mentioned reasons, yet it's just above 60% of the "new" console. 

The Vita is in a far worse position; at least Nintendo have some massive games on the way and have the money in the bank to cut the price if they want to.

You're right about that, but this isn't a year after the release of the Wii U. There should be some demand for a console that has JUST launched. The Vita is in it's second year and many people are waiting for that pricecut that's due right about now. Personally i'm waiting for a slim version of the Vita as i always wait for X device 2.0 :D
