What is up with this? Deny it all you want, the Wii U is in better shape than the Vita. Check the sales, Wii U outsold it last year despite having little to no games, and even though it is currently being outpaced by the Vita it should pass it up soon due to the fact it has at least a little hope. Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Zelda U, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, X, Retro's new IP, and whatever else Nintendo has brewing up should help Wii U pass the Vita soon. I wouldn't be suprised if it did before the end of this year.

Well, Vita is more of a side system than Wii U. Wii U is Nintendo's major 8th generation system. Wii U will have more Mario, Mario, Zelda, and Mario. At least Vita has some 3rd party support and indie games to look forward to. I don't have either, but I would rather have a Vita than Wii U.

I don't really agree with that assessment.  The PS Vita is as much of a system as the Wii U is.  The PS Vita may not seem like it because it is a handheld system and Sony also doesn't have much history with handhelds given they only had the PSP before.  That doesn't change the fact that the PS Vita actually is something Sony had invested a good bit into.  

Also, your view of the Wii U sounds like you don't own Nintendo systems.  Also, not sure if you noticed or not, but not as many Western 3rd party developers exist for handhelds than for home consoles.  If you had a choice between Wii U and the PS Vita, it wouldn't be about "Mario, Zelda" vs "3rd party support."  It would be about whether or not you are into handheld gaming or console gaming more, or very specific exclusives.

I think Sony themselves treats Vita as a side system. I wish they would support it as much as PS4. What makes Vita more attractive to me than Wii U is that it has a lot more Japanese 3rd party support. This way, Vita owners will have more Japanese RPG's and such. I only know of one JRPG coming to Wii U: X.
