Sony's turnaround of Vita in Japan is almost the polar opposite of what Nintendo are going for with WiiU.

Vita started doing better in sales due to a slew of mid-tier games; accompanying price cut and later remodel. Many of the mid-tier games have been provided by third parties.

WiiU is betting on a few "big" games righting the ship. All of these games are going to be first party.

Vita's sales still aren't actually that impressive, all things considered. The only reason I find them passable is because the console is still lacking any "big" IP, aside from Final Fantasy & Persona remasters and arguably a multi-plat God Eater.
