Just like last year I think the Vita and Wii U will be at a statistical tie (within 100k of each other). I know a lot of Nintendo fans think the Wii U will suddenly take off with Mario Kart/SSB but I just can't see it. I mean look at these numbers:

PSV 3,116,056 (-15%)

7,131,334

WiiU 3,093,504 (+38%) 5,229,395

The Vita was even down YoY and yet the Wii U still couldn't beat it. MK and SSB may have sold really well on he Wii but you have to remember we're dealing with a console that has barely kept up with a struggling handheld that's had just as barren release schedule.  Also thanks to Japan the Vita has a slight head start this year.

Fair enough... But what exactly do you think? The Wii U, in my eyes, should sell a minimun of 3.5 million. And the Vita < 3 million. That's my opinion. What do you expect?


It's hard to say but I think both will be up YoY. I think it's possible for both to be around 4 million for next year but SSB and MK will have to have a noticable effect on HW and the Vita will have to have a half decent launch of the 2000 model and Vita TV in the west. If both fail at doing so then they'll be flat YoY with North America carrying the Wii U and Japan carrying the Vita.
