That's like saying PS4 is cannibalizing Vita sales.

PS3 cannibalized Vita sales because they were too similar software wise.

So you are saying all the people who wanted a Sony handheld did just buy a PS3 instead?

It would be more correct to say, PsVita is not doing great because most of its potential customers have a PS3 already and they are fine with it, or in other cases they prefer to save money for the ps4.

Same thing could be said for WiiU, most of its potential customers are more attracted by the 3DS (lower price, more games). The only potential selling point of WiiU against the 3DS is local multiplayer and Kart and Smash Bros are not avaliable yet.
