Vita is dead. That's all.

And that's why will not have the legs of the other PlayStation consoles.

Also: "Handheld in the west are death" lol, and 3DS is selling better than XBO in the US and x3 in Europe...

Repeating what you said does not help with anything, Ryng. At least explain what you mean by it.

How i must explain? Vita is a dead console, withouth the Sony support, because after Sony looks how bad was the Vita sales hes abandons Vita.

Wii U too, bad sales, but Nintendo continued to support this console, and thanks this, this will be one of the rare cases when a Nintendo console will have a better legs than a Sony console, and that's all.

For the "Handheld are dead in the West", i say that is not true, because 3DS is, after PS4, the console with the bigger sales, both in the US and EU, and that's not because 3DS sell bad, but because PS4 sell too good, 3DS actually sell more than XBO in the US... that's why you can't say that 3DS is dead in the US. (and EU)

So let me get this straight.

Sony does not develop games for vita, but Japanese developers and Western developers do, hence the sales being higher than wiiU, but it's dead.

Ninty supports its console with 1st party games, but 3rd party support on WiiU feels non-existant, hence the worse sales than vita, but WiiU is not dead.

I don't get this logic. They're either equally dead or equally alive. The point is that an equal number of people are getting games they like and buy a console for. Whether it's first or 3rd party is irrelevant. Also keep in mind that support from a company is not only in terms of 1st party games but also deals with 3rd parties, like Sony and Capcom with the latest Resident Evil game.

I think people are looking at the systems in terms of life regarding the developers involvement too- the Wii U is probably more likley than the Vita at this point to do BETTER and improve its sales because it is still getting extremely strong support from Nintendo, and the Playstation Vita on the other hand has been practically abandoned by Sony and is only living due to third party developers

I don't necessarily EXPECT the Wii U to improve its performance in sales, but between the 2 systems (Vita / Wii U) it is probably the only option with possibility of gaining any traction
