The Vita me thinks. By the way, can someone post the numbers for both so far in 2013?

Wii U is still ahead (if we don't include adjustments so there's a pretty good chance Wii U is still ahead, the gap could even be as high as 100k):

PS3 1,684,489 (-85%) 73,469,423

Thanks for the numbers, they give much perspective.

PS Vita will double Wii U sales.

Yes, I just said that.

The Wii U will likely sell around 7 million units this year. You believe the PSV will sell 14 million, in other words have a YoY sales increase of 400% and sell the same as the 3DS did last year?

I don't see it.

The reason everything is way down is because it's comparing them to the numbers from the previous year. 2012 has 12 months in, whereas this one only includes 2 and a half so far. 

Those numbers will likely end up around 20-30% down for everything bar Wii U, PSV and 3DS if you had to ask me. Though I don't really want to start that discussion here.

I also went through to see what effect the 3D Mario and Mario Kart had on the 3DS, as well as the price cut.

3D Mario:

Japan-106% increase
Europe- 62% increase
USA- 35% increase

Mario Kart:

Japan- 77% increase
Europe- 17% increase
America- 34% increase

Price cut:

Japan- 5,146% increase
Europe- 296% increase
America- 301% increase

These games (including Zelda) and price-cuts were well-introduced in order to try and turn the tables with the sales figures. Nintendo seem to be hinting towards a similar (well, identical) scenario for the Wii U, so I don't see why it can't have a similar effect.

The reason why it can't have a similar affect is because we can't compare HandHelds to Home Consoles. Or, at least, that's what I've heard.

OT: As long as 3D Mario or Mario Kart come out this year I think the Wii U will slightly edge out the PSV. If both of them come out, I can see the Wii U having an OK lead over the Vita, this year. And if Nintendo decides to push marketing and drop the price, then I see the Wii U pulling quite a large lead over the PSVita.

Now, I expect Sony to drop the price of the PSV, but that'll only really help it for a few weeks. After that, the numbers will most likely fall to an average number. (Still much better than what it was doing, though.) I can only see the PSV outsell the Wii U this year if Sony drops the price, really pushes it marketing wise, and Sony gets a hold of a huge exclusive, or two.

Wii U for sure.

Without a singe game released in 2013, Wii U kept on par with Vita for 2013 so far. Yes Vita got a price cut in Japan, and will likely get one everywhere else soon, but Wii U kept up with Vita without games, and in a couple weeks it's exclusives will start trickling in.

I mean think about it, Vita has 2, maybe 3 major exclusives, and one multiplatform game for Vita coming in 2013, all from Sony.

Dragon's Crown (Also for PS3)
Killzone Mercenaries
Soul Sacrifice
Tearaway

Wii U has 5 confirmed exclusives, 1 HD remake, and 1 multiplatform game coming, only half of which are Nintendo developed. Plus wii U could have a lot more for fall.

Bayonetta 2
Dragon Quest X
Lego City Stories
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Also for 3DS)
Pikmin 3
The Wonderful 101
Wii Fit U

and maybe

Mario Kart 8
Super Smash Bros 4

Unless a comet hits the Nintendo factory......no wait because Nintendo consoles, like Sony are made at Foxconn.

Unless an isolated fire occurs at Nintendo's factory, and this is stopped before affecting other manufacterers, Wii U will easily outsell the Vita. I would even bet Wii U sells twice as many units as Vita.

I would agree with that prediction if SSBU is confirmed for 2013, but I highly doubt it

SSB4 is not coming out 2013, we'll be lucky if it comes out holiday 2014. E3 will have Video feed, not demos. Jus saying, but MK and Mario 3D have a chance

i kno, i wish it did! It be cool if Nintendo gave like a year b4 demo of just 2min matches and 8 characters! Imagine that, the original 8! I predict 6-8players this time! It be epic if you battle with 7 other players :->

Wii U to outsell the Vita 3-1 this year. Next year it will out sell it by more.
