Now explain why the vita outsold the wiiu, despite it being treated like an unwanted teen pregnancy by Sony for virtually it's whole life.

The Vita sold to Sony's loyalists of their handhelds. The PSP sold more than the Vita did, but the handheld intererest lowered as droughts were rampant. This is the same thing that hurt the Wii U. Vita is similar to the switch in what it does but there will be more third party support if Nintendo is to be believed. The thing that makes the Vita unappealing is what made the PSP and DS more appealing. They were cheaper to develop for and thus the third party was quicker and more readily to appear in abundance. This made for a larger and more memorable library. If you look at the highest selling consoles they were not the most powerful. The Wii, PS2, PS1, DS and 3DS were the least powerful of their respective generations. The PS4 is the first time in a long time that the most powerful console is winning by a mile like the SNES to the genesis.

WiiU launched directly after a 100m+ selling nintendo home console, where are those loyalists? last i checked psp didn't sell 100m

Also..

>implaying success has anything to do with system performance and not just the games available for it and whether or not its seen as the trendy console to own.

Seriously, show me a single person, ever, who went out to buy a console with the explicit requirement that it be the least powerful one.
