But the Wii U has never had healthy streams of software. It's always been one meaningful game followed by months of nothing (there hasn't been a meaningful Wii U release since Captain Toad?). Vita is in a much better situation than the Wii U and has sold decently due to its frequent software releases. Your counterpoints seem to help my argument.

Not really.  You use the word "meaningful" but the PS4 does NOT have a continual flow of "meaningful" titles in Japan.  The Wii U has more in regards to the Japanese market, yet it's not selling more than the PS4.  Also, the PS Vita may be selling more than the Wii U, but the PS Vita is by far selling much worse than the 3DS overall, and still hasn't overtaken the 3DS in weekly sales regardless of the fact that the PS Vita is getting many weekly releases.

But it does right now. There's a 6 figure game releasing each week until April. That's why the PS4 isn't dropping and that's why it's going to continue selling well until the games stop coming in. This isn't comparable to Wii U's release schedule. Overall library doesn't have a large impact on this week's sales.

Vita's software isn't comparable to 3DS for what really moves HW. The fact that the Vita has had healthy sales for the past year shows that the games it gets are keeping it from being in the 4 digit range.
