| RolStoppable said: Wii U has already passed the Vita. The shipment gap by the end of September 2015 could be reasonably estimated to be only a few hundred thousand units in favor of the Vita, then the Wii U had easily the better holiday quarter. |
Just because I am curious.
End of 2015:
US Wii U 5m, Vita 2.5m
Japan Wii U 3m, Vita 4.5m
Spain (June 2015) Wii U>100k, Vita >700k
Gap: Wii U <400k
Q1 2016:
Japan Wii U 110k, Vita 296k
US Wii U 175k, Vita ~44k
Gap: Vita by 55k
In 3 countries Wii U only leads by <345k. I think Vita sales in Spain for rest of year and Portugal and many other rest of world sales are much much higher then Wii U.
For example 1: Wii U has not launched in China but Vita has.
Example 2: Vita launched in Brazil march 2012, Wii U launched Nov 2013 (1 year after launch, 1 year 9 months after Vita) and ended Jan 2015.
Example 3: In fact Nintendo has very little presence in all of Latin America, including the large market of Mexico.
I think you would be very hard pressed to say that Wii U has outsold Vita.
