Nintendo had to run to get a decent sells for Wii U but SONY just crawling like snail to get a decent sales for Vita. Yup i say that's how genius worked (Thomas Alpha Edison)

Good question and I wonder the same. Wii U is supported pretty heavily compared to Vita, yet Vita sells better. Hmmm.....

I have both and love both immensely. They provide very different experiences from each other and exclusives on both are amazing. I wouldn't call Vita a beast, but I also wouldn't say it's selling better solely because of Wii U's failure. I guess for Vita, maybe the Sony brand name power, handheld portability, and exclusives are broader-reaching?

I hope Nintendo's next console and Son'y next handheld (if they do one) sell better than their predecessors. It really is a shame when quality products sell so poorly.

Vita has a better library, much more games, simple.

Wii U has almost no 3rd party support

It is true, Aside from a few Wii Games, Wii imo is the worse Nintendo Console in terms of SW (ironically it has some of the best stuff... SMG+2 to name 1 franchise)

The only thing I got from this post is that you admit that the Vita is dead!

OT the Wii U is a experiment from Nintendo. Its their first foray into HD gaming and there was bound to be experiments and growing pains and that is good. It means their next console will be even better.

IIRC it was the same last year. Vita outsold the Wii U in the quiet months, meanwhile during the busier periods the Wii U made up the difference quite quickly.

In terms of Quantity, Vita kills WiiU because of third party (Mostly Japan) but tbf It has non existent 1st Party and most of its games that arent Japanese niche or MH type of games are water downed ports like XC:3D.

That said it has huge indie support and a huge catalog. Great HW overall, but i think WiiU delivers a little more with Quality games, but thats obviously Opinionated. Im talking about what i seen in overall opinions as well, without biased (well sort of :p

Its selling better because:

- The Wii U is competing with 2 other consoles, while the Vita is only 1 ( not counting the smartphone biz )
- The PSVita has released earlier = More games came out and more attention that it has gotten + its much cheaper because its been out longer

Except when it comes to minor things like latency and framerate...

Niether of the bolded are true. While Sony as of late haven't released tons of games for it, the first 2 years were full of Sony releases. It got games from known franchises Like Uncharted, Wipeout, Modnation, Resistance, LittleBigPlanet, Sly Cooper, Killzone, and even Oreshika. It got HD collections from Jak and Daxter, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper. It got New IPs like Little Deviants, Unit 13, Gravity Rush, Smart As, PlayStation All-Stars, Soul Sacrifice, Tearaway, and Freedom Wars. Now games like Little Deviants and Resistance didn't turn out the best but Sony still put up the money for their development.

Also games like Killzone Mercenary, LittleBigPlanet Vita, and the holy grail Persona 4 Golden are considered to actually be better than their console counterparts. While games like Sly Copper TiTS, Dragon's Crown, Final Fantasy X/X-2, and PlayStation All-Stars are just as good as the console versions.
