Your points seem to be more on realistic side... do you think that it is pessimism because you don't like those views?

I think that's pessimism because I don't understand the logic behind these views based on the arguments I have given.

 

Tachikoma > I don't care about being "noble", if there are good reasons to be pessimistic about a console then I have no problem with that. With a strong competitor like the 3DS which has a very important advantage in terms of installed base and no really strong releases announced in the future I'm certainly pessimistic about the future of the Vita. The Wii U is certainly in a totally different position though.

The only difference is you want the WiiU to succeed because you like it, you're willing to argue a defence that "just because initial sales and support is bad doesnt mean it wont pick up", yet don't give the Vita the benefit of that same argument despite the obvious implications interactivity with the PS4 upon release being able to bolster the platform - just because it's selling a lot less than the 3DS doesn't mean it's selling the worst, that accolade would go to the Pandora, GP2X. GP2X Wizz, and so on.

It's all about scope, and you ruin your argument by supporting the WiiU with arguments that could just as easilly support the Vita, but refuse to accept that very clear and simple fact.

Putting it bluntly, don't moan about people being pessimistic then be pessimistic yourself, because you just end up the pot calling the kettle black.
