Maybe I am. But let's look at this scenario: Vita's competition is already out at crushing strength (3DS, DS and even its brother PSP hurting its sales in Japan). I don't see it getting worse for the Vita. In fact it should improve as 3DS saturates market, PSP support ends in Japan, and PS Vita price naturally drops as its library increases. Wii U however is pretty much alone. It's the one supposed to have the hype on its side, yet it is being eclipsed by the previous gen PS360. Can you imagine what is going to happen when PS4 and 720 are out at full force / full hype, and PS360 are even cheaper? This could put the Wii U in a critical situation. |
I get that mentality, the Wii U is currently selling worse than Vita at the same point in its lifetime under more favourable conditions, but while the Vita started to (and will continue to) coast along with mostly niche third party support and the odd mid-sized first party/third party game, the Wii U is guaranteed all the usual big first party games from Nintendo within the next couple of years. There's just no way with the size of those franchises that the Vita won't be outsold by Wii U, unless similarly large franchises make their way to Vita (e.g. continued COD/AC support, a portable GTA and a GT game - which just aren't happening).
