So you also expect that for the first time in quite sometime Nintendo will go above their estimative... 

Okay, I don't want to go back and forth on this point. Anyone who thinks MK8 and Smash will have a meaningful effect thinks Nintendo will exceed their estimate in some way. In fact I think I said I thought as much in my very first post in the thread. Doesn't mean it's going to. But I certainly expect it to.

But beyond that and back to the thread topic. Vita sold similarly to WiiU in 2013, it will sell less than WiiU WW 2014, and it will sell less than WiiU WW 2015. The current 2 million gap will consistently close if Nintendo meets their expectations at all. I think the gap could close to under 1.3 million this year alone. Like I said, WiiU is tracking ahead of Vita for a similar time period, and Vita will not have legs like its predecessor's in any territory. I do not think it will grow in the States after this year.
Just how I see it. It's a battle of losers right now.

PSVita Shipment and WiiU estimative is similar around 3.5M so I don't think it will close much of the gap. And we still have to see how 100-150 PSVita would do in other markets, would probably raise the PSV selling above WiiU, they are both tracking poorly. WIth the difference that WiiU "for the same period" had 1-1,5 years of no competition. PSVita always had 3DS and smartphones against it. So PSVita curve should be more normalized than WiiU for the previous period, so it's quite possible that WiiU will face a bigger drop.
