Well, Turkish is right in one regard, we don't really know how many Wii U consoles will be shipped to retailers for launch so it might be a situation where they don't ship enouch to satisfy demand.  That's the only way I can see the Vita beating the Wii U.  But even still, there's no reason to believe the Vita will do "amazing", I think he's just wishful thinking in that regard.

Delusional: It's going to (continue) to  bomb.

It has no market: it's in a no-man's land hell caught between tablets (Nexus7, iPad, etc.) and smartphones on one end and tablets (Kindle Fire HD, countless no-name Android tablets) and the 3DS on the other--it's also uncomfortably close in price to a WiiU, which will be *the* hot thing this Xmas.

Now If it was cheaper, and had better/more games, it'd probably do OK; as it stands, it's going to be the oddman-out this holiday season and I predict that SONY fans will be leaping from sky-scraping palletes-ful of unsold Vita's come January, shortly followed by someone very high up at SONY taking the fall for the debacle by the end of the first quarter 2012.

(Meanwhile, the Wii will do OK because it's cheap. And because it's cheap. And the economy sucks. Also because it's cheap. But mainly becuase it's cheap.)

I'm interested in knowing why you think the Vita will do so well.  Would yoiu mind explaining please?

The Wii (not Wii U) will most likely lose to the Vita in my opinion. Wii U will kill off a lot of sales and the Vita will probably gain some momentum for the holidays.

Of course the premium ones sold out first. Stores are receiving way more basic models than the premium ones. Again, you seem to not be very well informed. I recall an article that says that Japan will get even less Wii U's than previously expected. 

I'll answer for him. Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty bundles. It's getting games plain and simple. AAA games built just for the Vita. Now, I can't guarantee it will outsell the Wii or the Wii U, but considering its a new console and has nowhere to go but up, I think it all depends on how well Wii U is received and how many units Sony ships for the holidays.

Wow, the irony...

While we don't know exact numbers yet, "a couple of thousand" is completely absurd...

"Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter estimates there are only between 300,000 and 400,000 Wii U consoles currently being offered for pre-order. (The system, of course, will also be available physically in stores on Nov. 18.)"

I totally considered those games but even still, I don't expect those games to do much at all to boost Vita beyond just acceptable numbers.  So, beyond that, I'm curious to know what his rationale is.  Not to mention, those games are solid releases for the West.  Japan has nothing.  And knowing that, I don't know why Vita will do "great".

Unless "great" will be by Vita standards.  But it isn't because you he's saying it's gonna outsell the Wii U. 

So, I really just can't see this, I hope he responds because my curiousity is killing me, lol

I think only AC: Liberation will make the system sell some decent numbers. COD looks horrendous on the Vita, not even having COD on the tittle will help (at least imo) and it doesn't help BO:2 releases in the same month, which is clearly the better option for most people. 

Well, there is a new color coming out, aswel as a NFS and AC game wich look awesome. I dont think CoD will do good but it will help sell some systems aswel. I think wiiu will do great aswel, it will probably be very close though.
