Will Wii U LTD sales ever pass Vita?

Nintendo fans will tell you. "Connectivity" has been done before, and it doesn't save a struggling platform. The GBA's coattails did precious little to float the GameCube, and GBA was more dominant in its field than PS4 will be, by a wide margin (since PS4 has actual competition that isn't the NGage)

There is a huge difference with what the Vita is advertized to do with PS4 and the GBA/GameCube generation. I don't imagnine a lot of people owning a PS4 and thinking "Hey I love these games, I should buy that other PlayStation for its games." Instead people owning a PS4 will think "Hey, I love these games, I should buy that other PlayStation so I can play them more".

You have a Wii U correct? Isn't it great just playing on the gamepad and not even bothering with the tv? This off screen play is something that almost all of us Nintendo fans agree is really sweet. If the gamepad was sold separately for $100 and worked anywhere there was internet, do you not imagine it still getting a decent amount of sales with people wanting that off tv experience? If the answer is yes, then what's different about the Vita with remote play?

Because generally people don't think that way. Much like the gamepad, it's an idea that sounds like something people would like, but ultimately not particularly compelling (enough to make the investment, anyway)
