Fact remains though that the Vita is facing a much worse situation. Handhelds are expected to sell more units and end up with a much lower software tie ratio. Selling on par with Wii U hardware-wise is not a good sign for the system. And ending up selling N64 numbers would be a disaster for a handheld.

I'm sorry, but that's complete sophistry.  What are your sources for "handhelds are expected to sell more"?  If the Vita was $99, sure, but its price tag isn't far off from the Wii U.  Publishers and developers have also been very happy with software sales on the Vita.  There might not be that many systems out there but the people who own them buy games, enough that Ubisoft is happy, Japanese publishers have been happy, and indie developers are telling other indie developers that the Vita is the place to be.  Muramasa Rebirth has already hit 100k units on the Vita.  Is the Wii U as much of a success for third party game sales?

It seems like you're just raising expectations for the Vita and lowering them for the Wii U for your own purposes.
