Neither Vita nor WiiU are doomed, they're just freshly new consoles waiting for price-cut and some Hardware-pushing games.. So, no need to start with such statements !

Funny part is that those Vita games sold out at just 25k units each.

Demon Gaze and Monster Monpiece have both been totally sold out in Japan for days. Both developers even posted letters of apology for the shortage in copies due to higher than expected demand. It's weird to see Vita games sell out...


I heard that Mon monpiece is actually a good game.

And fun fact the digital sales for mon monpiece is  5000.

Famitsu gave both games very good scores. Though we know by now that doesn't mean much.

Wii U needs games, simple as that. Does Japan get any new releases in February? Or are all three markets waiting till late next month and March for releases? Nintendo need to date some second quarter games to give existing and prospective Wii U owners a little certainty on the near term software support.

I think this only applies for Wii U.  Vita is dead.

Yeah Monpiece was officially announced at 5,000 by Compile Heart. Based on the ratings numbers on PSN Demon Gaze has been put at over 10,000 downloads sold too. The download market for Vita is not to be underestimated...
