They assumed it would pass Vita sooner because they assumed the games would come out sooner. The games have now started to come (Pikmin) and with basically two worthwhile games per month thru December (most of which are first party) I believe Wii U will pass the Vita sometime in December shortly after the release of Super Mario 3D World (supported by DKC: TF, LOZ: WW HD, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, M&S Olympics, Sonic Lost World, etc.) Don't underestimate Nintendo systems during the holidays...especially when there are many new first-party games releasing around that time.

If you want to discuss something really "funny"...how about we discuss whether the 3DS will sell more in October thru December than Vita has in its lifetime? Seriously, I think its possible with Pokemon and Zelda coming out October and November. Not a Vita-hater...just a Nintendo-supporter, which is unfortunately rare on these forums.


you must be high or you might be on the wrong forum if you said there are few MS supporters that woudl be accurate and nobody is discussing that because no one is disputing it, so what would be the point? just stating the obvious. What games did people assume would come? We knew what games were coming and when. and that doesnt make those predictions any less wrong.

Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends and Wii Fit U were all originally Q1-Q2 releases but got delayed. Had those titles all came out as planned there would be no drought and sales would be better. I think about 5 million by now would have been possible, which isnt above Vita but damn close.


Even when those games got reported that they were going to be delayed people were still saying it would pass Vita by now so im not buying it, hell we got the delay news pretty early on. Also i seriously doubt those games would have pushed it to 5 mil, a series that hasnt been seen since GC and isnt exactly setting up the charts(its doing alright but nothing crazy), a new IP in a niche genre, a series that peaked long ago, Wii Fit U was the only one that would have done someting IMHO but even then you cant be too sure.

I wasnt aware people still thought that after the delay. And im not claiming any of those games would have done amazing just that it would have essentially doubled the amount of quality exclusives on Wii U and prevented such a long drought. Who know ehat its sales would be now but im inclined to believe they would currently be much better.


Rayman would have been timed exclusive but i see your point, I dont think it would have been much better, better yes, but not much
