Wii U's doing worse, but that's beside the point.

I predict 2014 will be the breakout year for vita. Vita.TV plus remote play should be huge.

Wii U's outpacing Vita, and sold almost as much as 360 in October.


It had a better launch, that's it. Wii U's sold 1.56 million so far this year, while Vita's sold 1.8.

 

Also, time travel!

Considering 3DS sold around 6 million holiday 2012 (Not completely sure), Vita doesn't have a chance.

At this point in it's life (11 months), the Vita had sold 4.3 million, or 4.1 million if you wanna be super anal and align Japan for 11 months, which is still 300k ahead of the Wii U aligned. The Wii U hasn't outsold the 360 a single week yet.

Anyways, no OP, I don't see the  Vita ever selling 5 million in a single year, sorry to break it to you. I think we'll be lucky if it breaks 18 million lifetime, and I don't think anyone cares about the Vita TV outside of these fringe enthusiast forums.

Actually, Wii U's at 4.1 million. Let me explain.

As of September 30th, 2013 Wii U sold 3.91 million units, but the 11 month mark was on October 18th. If you go from week ending October 5th-week ending October 19th Wii U sold about 215,000. Do the math, 3,910,000 + 215,000 = 4,125,000.

Shipped verse sold. You can't just mix and match those numbers.

It could do, with the right software and price point anything is possible.

Not if being a PS4 controller is the best it'll get.

Yes, probably 2014 but also possibly 15. Its going to end the year on a high with FFX/X-2 HD and it finally has a decent line up of EXCLUSIVES in Japan for 2014, up until now its shared all its big titles bar Soul Sacrifice with either the psp or PS3.

Phantasy Star Nova
Soul Sacrifice Delta
Freedom Wars
Over My dead Body2
Gravity Rush 2
PSV pets

and hopefully more to be announced.
