It is the main big reason. Basically the opposite of what the OP is trying to defend.

Yeah I sort of agree. In Japan I would say 70% Portability 30% Games. While in the US it would be the opposite and leaning more to the Games side.

See even jranation, one of nintendo biggest fan on vgchartz admit portability is the biggest factor.

Lol you said its all about the games and now its this and that but no mention of portability being the reason why vita outsold the wii u. What flawed concept did the wii u had that it only sold half as much as the vita? That flawed concept is because it wasnt portable 

Everything about the Wii U was flawed except the games. As a concept it was fundamentally broken.

But we've made a breakthrough here; you call the Vita "a portable with no 1st party support and no AAA third party games". We are in agreement; it is its library that let it down, hence why it was outsold in Japan by the PS4 in Japan; because the PS4, while lacking portability, offered more games that Japanese gamers wanted to play. The Switch outsold the PS4 for the same reason; because it offers games that better appeal to the particular tastes of Japanese gamers. The software charts confirm this.

Wii u also offered more games that japan gamers wanted to play. The software charts confirmed that. Im not saying games isnt a factor. Its a factor and that is why ps4 outsold the vita. Ps4 needed many, many better games to outsell the vita. If the ps4 didnt have the 3rd party AAA games like the vita it wouldnt sell half as much as the vita.
