Yes, I expected the Wii U to overtake the Vita.

I am really resisting making the other joke that I been making! 

I'm just glad vita TV is making it over. 

It is?

Thats news to me too, did Sony make any announcement about it? I thought it sold not very well in Japan :(.



 

This came to mind.  Go Wii U!



My 8th gen collection

I expected Wii U's YTD figures to be ahead of Vita's all year long. Can't believe it took it until December to catch up.

Hopefully both systems see a stronger 2014.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Ouya.



I know portables tend to outsell home consoles but have short life spans (aside from the super stamina of the O.G. Gameboy family) but I fully expected the Wii U to blow away the Vita's abysmal opening. For me, it's a bit embarrassing to see the Wii U struggle in this way. The less attention drawn to the Wii U vs Vita battle, the better.



Eh, it is nothing to celebrate. It should have happened a loooooooong time ago, however, it's a start.mi expect no contest in 2014.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I haven't seen anything. I remember a pretty Western-looking Japanese video about it, but that's it.

Nothing too official, but still shows a sign that it will come over.

People were saying Wii U was going to outsell Vita's lifetime sales in a month back in the day. So to just outsell it for only the year when the Vita has no system sellers is worrying.


People were also saying that PS4 would outsell WiiU's lifetime sales in a month (obviously impossible because of supply issues).  Sometimes people just have foolish expectations.
