Well, comparing video games to automobiles doesn't have much logic in it either.

Sony has chosen to advertise the Vita as "console gaming on the go," so in a way it's competing with other console experiences.

Yeah that was my point that comparing things simply by sales is completely illogical...

No, it's a portably gaming system. The Wii U is not. They are not part of the same market. 

I understand your intention with the analogy, but it fell a little flat. Yes, there are two separate markets for home consoles and portable video game systems, but often they overlap and intersect.

In any event, Kaizar's point remains valid: Wii U has so far outpaced the first few months of Xbox 360 and PS3, and it's on track to pull ahead of Vita. Considering Wii U has had no major software releases since November, and considering the enduring appeal of Xbox 360 and PS3, that's rather impressive.

No they don't overlap and intersect, otherwise you then open up comparing the iPhone to the 360, which is absurd.

No his point is not valid. Why is he comparing the sales of 7 year old consoles to one relased a few months ago? Considering the change in the economic climate and perception towards tech, it's a completely pointless comparison. From what the Wii U currently offers, it is offering games that are on-par with the 360 and PS3, therefore we should compare sales directly instead of looking back 7 years ago.
