Indeed, and that Vita outsold Wii U is definitely not up for debate, however Wii U was overpriced and had no noteworthy games in 2013, save for Mario 3D World at the very end of the year, plus Pikmin 3 and a Zelda re-release to a very small extent. This year alone, Wii U is getting Donkey Kong Country, Wii Fit, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Bayonetta 2, Yarn Yoshi, X, Wii Sports Club expansions and Hyrule Warriors, plus 3rd party stuff like Watch_Dogs, Project Cars, Just Dance, COD, Skylanders and whatnot. On top of this a truckload of indie and retro Virtual Console games, and whatever will undoubtedly be unveiled later. Also, it's cheaper now than it was for most of 2013. Pray tell, whatever noteworthy does Vita have coming in 2014 and beyond, that will compare to this and move systems...? |
Vita is still ahead by 2 million. It can be outsold by a healthy amount next year and still not get passed.
On the noteworthy side of things, does it even need that? I mean Vita's lineup for 2013 was horrible and it still beat the wii u. Nintendo fans always talk about how bad it was for their system, but do they even realize that the first big Vita game of 2013 came out in September? Now that is horrible. Lets compare Vita and Wii U's lineups for last year. Going by America releases.

If I just went by exclusives, it'd be 9 Wii U games verse 3 vita games. By your definition of noteworthy, the vita had zero games. Things are a little bit better in Japan, but that's really not something I know about.
This year the Vita is getting sequels to both Gravity Rush and Soul Sacrifice, as well as Freedom Wars. Might do good in Japan but again no notable western releases. What it does have however in the west is Vita. TV and remote play. Those could potentially cause a lot of sales.
Oh look, we're debating ;)
