Well, for starters, FF I, II and IV were not as significant in comparison to FFX when it came to sales. FFX is the second best selling title in the series. This is why I expected more especially due to its popularity in Japan. It has not outsold the previous iterations yet so we will have to wait.

 The Wii U, before the price drop was still being sold at a loss as had been reported in August of last year http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/08/nintendo-wii-u-still-being-sold-at-a-loss/ . Add in the price drop plus the fact they are reporting losses again for the fiscal year and it’s safe to assume they are not breaking even, despite the attachment rate.

 Your right, Sony may not decide to get rid of the Vita but how long do you expect its shelf life to be? How long do you expect retailers to carry the console if it’s not moving systems? I’d suspect not very long. Look what happened with the Wii U at that UK chain. Sony has a better repertoire than Nintendo with retailers but that is only going to get them so far. We all know shelf space is important and if Vita doesn’t pick up soon, I forsee it dwindling down to nothing at least in N.A & EU.

I don’t believe Nintendo is going anywhere either. I just hope there next console is more well thought out that they are able to supply an ample amount of games during launch through to the next fiscal year and that they take their time to fix all the buigs instead of releasing the console so hastily like they did with Wii U (Day 1 owners knowwhat I am talking about) 

Yea, but you see FFVI is the fan favorite game in the series, and most people missed it with FFIII being a SNES title. This is more reason for the GBA game to sell better, especially with the 70 million install base.

Sony will fight to keep Vita relavent, they will still sell it until 2017 IMO. Same with WiiU, despite weak Gamecube sales, Nintendo still got space in stores, and had a dedicated audience. I expect the same for WiiU, look how many fans on VGC support Nintendo.

As for the WiiU, like I said Hiroshi Yamauschi died recently, and he had no say with WiiU's design. Iwata made a bad call, maybe the next console will be better, but I don't like how he said he would step down if WiiU didn't sell 5 million during their first fiscal year and then didn't.
