PS Vita will double Wii U sales.

Yes, I just said that.

The Wii U will likely sell around 7 million units this year. You believe the PSV will sell 14 million, in other words have a YoY sales increase of 400% and sell the same as the 3DS did last year?

I don't see it.

Maybe it's just me, but going 30k a week isn't really a pace to reach 7 million, unless this is going to be a veeeery long year. Like 240 weeks long ;) So far there is not a single game announced (by announced I mean with a release date or just so that it's 100% certain to come in 2013) that can cause a sudden improvement in the sales. On the other hand Vita does have a few heavy hitters coming and keeps getting more and more announcements of Japanese games, which can keep on turning things around in its favour in Japan.

I can assure you that Pikmin 3 will likely be bigger and sell more than any Vita "heavy hitter" to say no Vita game has hit a million yet.

If you don't count that, then Wind Waker HD is really going to do good for the system and will eclipse the big guns for Vita easily. And if either 3D Mario or Mario Kart launch, as well as whatever we don't yet know about...well I don't see how these aren't heavy hitters yet Tearaway, a game which will likely sell 500k tops, is.

HD Remakes never moved significant amount of consoles on 360 and PS3, I don't think that will change on Wii U. Besides, if NSMB can't move consoles, thenwhat can? I don't see 3D Mario or Mario Kart generating more buzz than 2D Mario. And even if they launch, it will be at the same time of the PS4 launch, I don't see the games doing numbers anywhere near their predecessors on Wii with such strong competition. We also don't know if 360 and/or PS3 will get price cuts, which would cut into Nintendos sales even more. 

There are just too much signs pointing to a failure of the Wii U when it comes to sales. The price cut of the Vita on the other hand showed that there is interest for the device, while the price of the Wii U in europe dropped by nearly 50 % and still nobody wants it. So Sony just needs to make the right choices and they will outsell Wii U easily. I'm pretty confident we will see some new Vita titles at E3. From Nintendo, I'm only expecting the usual suspects.
