Down 19 percent basically means the Wii U has bottomed out, because the April period had a week less.

As for what is doing worse in the same timeframe, it's obviously the Vita. That's not going to change in the USA.

Not really. The same timeframe here refers to this singular month. If I recall correctly, then WiiU's Jan sales were about even with Vita's April 2012 sales and now WiiU is looking at lower sales than Vita did exactly one year ago. It's hard to spin this into being worse for Vita, because it's either equally bad or worse for WiiU. And when I look at last year's July NPD thread it seems like the consensus was <60k for Vita, possibly around 55k...which is exactly what Pachter is predicting here.
