I'll use launch aligned sales in Japan+USA+Europe - a year from launch.

Region	WiiU	PSV
Japan	1.26m	1.07m
USA	1.53m	1.24m
Europe	0.94m	1.57m
Total (J+US+EU) sales	3.73m	3.88m

WiiU does better in Japan and USA, but PSV does significantly better in Europe and makes up for the difference and then some.

The "other" regions are missing, but if history is anything to go by I think it's safe to say PSV did similar or better than WiiU there so the results would essentially be the same.

So much for Japan being "handheld territory".

The Vita is a problem on its own. Japan is very much handheld territory (did you read the report stating that Japan had surpassed the US in revenue from mobile/tablet content/apps?), the Vita is the problem. Some of it is explained here;
