Do you even have the slightest idea of what games are coming to Vita? Your disrespect for these titles is disturbing, as many of them are easily AAA games. You really sound off as a hater and not a realistic person.

There may be no no-brainer system seller that will sell 4 millions among these titles, but they are great games and they are much better than the big fat nothing that Wii U is getting over that same period. Vita is getting really good games in the coming months, combined with the price cut that will improve sales. The big Wii U games may not even come this year, and even if they do come out on Christmas, they'll be crushed by the release of PS4 and X720. By that time Vita will be far ahead of Wii U thanks to this "second rate shovelware" that actually got released in the course of the year and not just announced like the Wii U games. Do you really see that as such an unrealistic scenario?

I'm not saying it has to happen, the race will most probably be a close one (unless Vita suddenly explodes in Japan), but this is a possible turn of events. And I'm going to repeat - we're talking just about 2013. How many of these system sellers you talk about will Nintendo pump out this year, if even Pikmin 3 hasn't got a release date yet and it was supposed to be a launch window title?

Okay, wow. Where do I even start.

The "AAA" games you claim that are coming to Vita are remakes, rehashes, and non-exclusives. These games are from series like Dead or Alive, Sly Cooper (recently came out IIRC), Killzone, and Ninja Gaiden (just to name a few that aren't apart of the shovelware that's coming). Out of all those games, which will push more Vita systems? None. That's just the truth. It's literally what is happening to Wii U currently. Since the games have been or are, available on prexisting consoles, people don't care that those games are going to the newer console UNLESS they don't have the prexisting console (which is highly unlikely and the reason why Vita sales and Wii U sales are currently on the same boat).

Next, price cuts don't equal better sales so, let's just stop trying to push that ideal right now. Price cuts aren't an amazing miracle to console sales because it depends on what games and bundles are coming plus what time of year this price cut and it's advertisements happen (in Vita's case, this isn't the best time of year since no one is interested in buying hardware during Q1 since it's right after the holidays).

"The big Wii U games may not even come this year, and even if they do come out on Christmas, they'll be crushed by the release of PS4 and X720."

PS4 (if it knows what's good for it), won't get released by Christmas and even if it does, it won't be this amazing seller unless Sony has SOMEHOW managed to get a bunch on exclusives ready for launch and they annouce all of that today and plan to let people play it during E3 (which is frankly impossible and too short notice to guarentee optimal sales). Additionally 720 will not release this year (and that's just based off common sense and history of console releases). Let's not even go there.
Just, please, in the future, try to re-read what you're typing because it really comes off as a Vita/Sony fanboy who is just hurt the Vita is doing bad and just wants Wii U to sink aswell. Let's try to stick to common knowledge and facts too, okay? Thank you!
