I don't see how the Vita can stay ahead of the Wii U forever.

Even if Sony has shipped a lot more Vita units than VGChartz has shown sold, it's been shown before that Sony ships more units prior to sales than Nintendo does. The Vita being undertracked here is likely, but the sales difference between the Vita and Wii U is probably much higher than you are saying.

I'm going to look at the Wii U and Vita in the "Four Regions" over the rest of their lives, based on known info and what I hope is reasonable speculation.

Europe saw Wii U sales rise drastically and Vita sales plummet in 2014. Otherwise, the same basic problems plague the Vita here, so let's skip to Japan.

"Rest of World" has purchased 1.13 million Vita units. This will rise, but I doubt the Vita in these places will be proportionately as popular as the Vita, especially given how mobile gaming continues to grow.


These 2 regions we have absolutely no solid data for. Which is pretty much why the "undertracked" thing has come up anyway. We know pretty reliably what US sales are like and very reliably what Japanese sales are. But if you have solid figures for Europe and the Rest of the World, I'd love to see these.
