TBH, There is a chance tht WiiU will surpass Vita this year, but only if Sony doesn't do anything betterthan last year for the second half of the year.

We have WiiU about right here (maybe 10k-50k overtracked), but with vita it should be heavily overtracked (nothing like 3ds million Overtracked, but maybe somewhere between 200k-500k).

As for Kinectless X1, definitely but not anytime soon. Its at 0 and it would need to sell 10mil+ which isnt happening anytime soon.

No there isn't. According to Nintendo, WiiU isn't even going to hit 9.5m sell through by the end of this year (and they overestimate a lot). PSV is at 8.2m, did 2.2m~ from June - December last year. It can drop to half that and still hit 9.5m.

It's trending similar to last year so far as well.



ok but does that mean wiiu is set in stone to be under that? No. Like I said Vita is overtracked here by quite alot. They both by years end can end between 9.0mil-11mil, if the companies push hard enough.

Just cuz one expectations are this number, they might just do that to make themselves look better, it has happened many times before in different situations. Ex: MH4 was expected to sell 2.5mil units in 6 months, it did that in 3 or 4 weeks.

"It's trending similar to last year so far as well." Its good to look at info such as this but dont forget, little things can change. remember 3DS in Apr?

Oh you're wheeling out that "It's not a fact therefore anything can happen" line, incredibly weak retoric, get something new. How do you know Vita is overtracked? And by how much?

Just because Capcom (obviously) underestimated something, doesn't mean Nintendo have. They've overestimated Wii/WiiU hardware for as long as I can remember now, of course Nintendo fans think 3.5m is low with Mario Kart, but then they've constantly been proved wrong on WiiU hardware sales. That 3.5m is still a rise of like 40% yoy (will have to check the figures) so expecting more than that based on your expectations of MK alone, because not even Nintendo are agreeing with you this time, is like I said, weak. But hey, WiiU might be bundled with fridges right? WE JUST DON'T KNOW!!!!

3DS was 106, I predicted 70 - 90k, are you really claiming this is anything of note? if 3DS had done something dramatic then yes, but no.
