Will Wii U LTD sales ever pass Vita?

I think there's little doubt that WiiU sales will pick up with the releases due over the coming 6 months, the question is how much will they pick up.

PS Vita has been longer on the market and has longer time to 'right the ship' so to speak, but it is still struggling. I find it harder to see a future where the PS Vita will see a significant and sustained increase in sales.

The unknowns here are price drop for one or both systems, and how well MS and Sony handle their generational shift. If the PS4, and Xbone1 are a little too expensive for the market when they first hit and are a little light on releases post launch I think they could open the door for the WiiU to stage a decent comeback, especially if both Smash Bros and Mario Kart WiiU make the first half of next year.

Best case scenario it could happen inside of the year but that requires the WiiU to start selling immediately or have an absolutely gangbusters holiday season. More realistically it will happen in the second quarter next year, though that is still far from certain given the aforementioned unknowns.
