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.


The reasons why I'm not optimistic about the Vita are exactly the same ones that make me optimistic about the WiiU. Vita has a disadvantage in terms of installed base  in comparison to its main competitor while the WiiU has an advantage. The WiiU has huge killer apps already announced while the Vita has none. So I don't see how my opinion could be more consitent than that.

Wiiu has a tiny install base compared to it's direct competitors, PS3 and 360

Vita has a tiny install base compared to it's direct competitor, 3DS

Wii u has killer apps? you mean the handful of 1st party titles and the next xenoblade?, What does that say about the vita thats expecting killzone mercenary, dust 514:neocom, soul sacrifice, FFXHD, Binding of isaac: Rebirth, Lone Survivr, Terraria this year (the latter three (sort of, BOI) selling INSANELY well over Steam, and easilly translatable to vita), and many others?, as well as the potential for some very WiiU-like functionality hand in hand with the PS4?

Don't be so short sighted, both have just as much potential as each other, you're just being a hypocrit.
