Will Vita start outselling WiiU now?

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! 

I'd love it if you were sticking to common knowledge and facts yourself. Why do you mention games that got released or games that Vita gamers aren't really interested in that much as the "games that aren't part of shovelware", while omitting the real big titles? DoA and Ninja Gaiden are close to being a shovelware in comparison to many games that are coming.

"The "AAA" games you claim that are coming to Vita are remakes, rehashes, and non-exclusives"

This makes me feel sorry for you. Think about what you just said - with that sentence you can dismiss almost every single game on Wii U, 3DS or any other console!

Killzone, Soul Sacrifice, Tearaway, Senran Kagura, God Eater 2, Ys: Celceta - all are exclusives, not a single one is a remake. Some are new IPs, some come from big existing franchises, but you can't be serious if you suggest that as being something bad and that such games won't sell hardware just because of that (the "rehashes"). And there are other games coming as well. Persona 4:G, Ragnarok Odyssey and Sly 4 just got released in Europe today, so they will also move some hardware there, though probably after the pricecut comes over here. And there still is Playstation Destination on the 25th, Sony already told us there will be a big 3rd party western game announced soon, so I hope it'll happen there.

@Pricecut - you haven't said anything new, anything we don't already know. At the same time you seem to be the only person here, who doesn't know what games are coming out in the next weeks in Japan, just following the cut. This price cut IS perfectly combined with the release of good games. Sony is doing it right, they are doing exactly what you're talking about. The online event for Japan 2 days ago, today's event, PD on the 25th - Sony is rocking right now. Now we just have to see how the market reacts. There is no doubt in my mind that Vita sales will rise significantly in Japan.

 

Just, please, in the future, try to do a serious reseach about the matter you're talking about, because you really come off as quite ignorant of the actual situation. Thank you.
