Forums - Sales - Vita to be outsold by Wii U till the end of 2012

Nintendo simply cannot make that many Wii Us

Surely by March 2013 it will already have passed Vita but...c'mon. Vita won't sell that low and Wii U cannot physically sell that high.

Not necessarily, in fact i'd still put my money on Vita if I were to bet on which would be top.

By March 2013 even if after Christmas it returns to the kind of figures it's doing now it will at least pass 5 million... wheras if we look at the Wii it managed 5.8 million from launch through March 2007.

If the current figures are correct and Sony doesn't change anything besides releasing a few games my personal expectation for Vita will be around 4.8 million by the end of the year, and 5.6 million by the end of March.
The Wii U doesn't have any data yet to extrapolate from, but using the Wii as a guide and a $300 mid-late November launch I think around 2 million by the end of the year and 5 million by the end of March.

Yeah, Nintendo would have to slow down time to be able to output that many consoles, and then they'd still have to sell them like crazy.



Betting sounds like Fun.... Wii U certainly wont come ahead of Vita. But, okay.

I don't see it happening, because of supply issues. It's not even necessary to discuss how well the Wii U is going to launch, because no matter how it goes, there won't be enough consoles manufactured and shipped to stores before the end of 2012 Nintendo is d00med.

I think this is what you meant?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
