Once Mario Kart hits, there will be no looking back for the Wii U. It'll overtake Vita no problem. Might outsell it 2:1 if there are no software delays. People are really overestimating the impact of Vita Slim. I mean Mario Kart won't put the Wii U ahead of the PS4 or anything, but with MK8, Bayo2, X, Hyrule Warriors, and Smash, I daresay it can handle Vita. It might even keep pace with XBO.


the wii u will outsell the vita 2:1?

with the vita selling around 40/50k in a slow time of the year, you're expecting nintendo to magically boost the wii u to the ballpark of 100k units per week? sounds like microsoft needs to get worried about nintendo again. lol

I did say it might even keep pace with the XBO, so yeah. And I said might, not will. I do think it will definitely outsell Vita this year, I just don't know by how much. 2:1 was a really optimistic upper limit, not my idea of a conservative, expectable estimate.


I found it unrealistic in all honesty. The die hard Nintendo fans already have their consoles as we've had the Mario releases as well as DK, Zelda WW, Pikmin, W101 and some support from 3rd parties that has been dying more and more during the last months. When you have the big releases of the year either skipping the WiiU (Batman, COD, Destiny, Fifa, Madden, etc) or being delayed (watch dogs) what incentive is there for such a big boost in sales to the 100k per week? 

 

The only other option is an extremely bearish short/mid term for the vita to drop it's numbers even more (is it possible in EU and US?) when it has been steadily outselling the WiiU (in this case close to the 2:1) without any major releases (not to the levels of Mario, Zelda, etc).

 

anyways, it just seemed like a fantasy more than a prediction
