It never had a chance to pass vita. 29 6.07%
 
Vita is going down! 136 28.45%
 
Total:476

So far they closed the gap by 800k this year. Only 1.3m to go. That seems doable. If not next year, then the year after.

I love this race though. It's like who is dying slower^^ Gonna have a closer eye on this now.

I would like to add facts to this.

1. Zelda is a HUGE title. You stated it was not. Which, in terms of sales, Zelda is more popular than Assassin's Creed. (Highest selling game is just under 5m for Assassin's Creed I think, while Zelda's is 7.60m I think)

2. Xbox One was two million behind the Wii U about 6ish months ago, but is now 1.4m above. Wii U sales have been WAY higher than Vita per week.

I highly doubt that Vita will beat Wii U.


Assassins Creed 2,3 and 4 sold between 10-15 million...

Nintendo's biggest guns came out this year and it was only able to double the Vita's sales this past week. Sure there are other games coming next year, but most of them are not anything big time like Mario or anything. Zelda has not been that big for years.

The vita on the other hand is obviously being defiant and is not going down without a fight. From what I see in the latest COMG it has a ton of games coming soon.

Plus let's not forget that Sony is teaming up with Capcom big time now! Does anyone doubt that a Monster Hunter is coming to the Vita this coming year? Japan loves the vita and it would be perfect over there, it would also smash sales in Japan through the roof! Youkai and Pokemon look out!

 

The Vita has a 1.30 million lead over the Wii U, and by the time Nintendo releases its next console, it will be hard for it to ever overtake the Vita. Especially if it really does come out in 2016 like many are predicting.

 

What do you all think? Is Wii U over Vita a lost hope?

Really? Lol

 

Don't you have some obscure Wii U third party game to go buy?



Agree

Vita will chug along, 2015 will be brutal for wiiu. No big guns while X1 and PS4 getting serious 1st and 3rd party content.

wiiU sales will be depressingly low.



spurge go home, you are drunk

I have no doubt in my mind Wii U will have higher 2015 sales than Vita, it outsold the Vita in Japan this week, which was the Vitas only semi-successful market. Zelda and Mario Maker is going to move alot more units than whatever the Vita has in 2015

with vita being released in China I agree with you



    PS4 Game Collection

           

                                            

Lets be real here, they are both complete failures in terms of sales. WiiU should take the win but who cares, they were both harmful to their respective companies.
Kinda funny though Sony chose to forget about Vita, Nintendo have decided to put a lot of focus these holidays on WiiU in the west instead of the somewhat successful 3DS (I cant praise the 3DS more than that) but I dont think it will do much for them in the end.
What Sony is left with is a product that doesnt need a successor and a market leader. Nintendo is left with a failure and a mediocre handheld and they need to make massive changes next gen.



Wii U will overtake it by 2016.



Yeah...... no. Wii U will pass Vita as it will continue to sell even if at a trickle. While the Vita has lost 1st and even 2nd party support with its only lifeline being niche Japanese games.

The only way Vita will sell more is if it becomes easily hackable.
