Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: PS Vita > WII U Total Lifetime Sales ( worldwide )

Darwinianevolution on 17 May 2015

The thing with Vita VS WiiU is that Vita's sales are more stable thanks to its support in Japan. WiiU sales tend to decline a lot during its droughts, but when there's a big release, the console sells a decent amount of units. WiiU has more system sellers than the Vita, but Vita has more games and a better release schedule. WiiU will outsell the Vita if Nintendo makes enough system sellers before the NX releases. After the NX, the traditional long lifespam of the PS brand will benefit a lot to the Vita, specially since Sony doesn't look like it's going to make another handheld.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

People have been saying since launch that the wiiu would be ahead, pm me when that day finally comes.

The only thing that the Sony fans can say is "people expect WU to beat Vita first year" ???

Wow... and do you remember what some Sony fan said one time?

Some Sony fans expect Vita above 3DS, and predicted 3DS to fail. Some people expect +100 million lifetime for Vita, and NOT before launch, but in 2013, when this was already a ridiculus prediction.

Still, some people say "when PS4 will released the Vita sales will explode!" ... yeah... sure...

 

Oh, and i almost forgot the best of the best! Some sony fans still predict PS3 above Wii lifetime...


This will happen. 
Question: How much do you predict Wii U lifetime?

I don't think so, Sony's reports says otherwise.

... Its not I don't think so its a pretty sure thing that it wont happen. I can't even comment anymore. I'm out of this thread if I have to deal with statements like the one before. Wii > Ps3 is a fact.

They weren't wrong...

SCEE confirmed UK sales were up 400% so it sold 40 units that week instead of 10!

Well said :) I also find it funny he claims Wii U is over tracked. We know its overtracked in 2015 but everything has been adjusted for 2014 already (with home consoles atleast).  Anyway arguing with this guy is gonna get me banned for wanting to use one of Rol's famous words.

For be correct, WU is overtracked in the old years, not in 2015.

But still, even with WU overtracked in 2014, still no way for Vita sold more.

If we see the NPD/MC sales, we have WU in the US > PSV JP+US

Europe can't be difference...


It's done pretty well in Southern Europe by the look of it. It even had a game in the all format top 10 single SKU chart in Spain above every single PS4/XBO title there. (I don't think I've ever seen a Vita game make the UK top 10 lol)

Also seems to be doing pretty well in places like Dubai and Asia. So there are a lot of territories VGC doesn't really track where Vita seems to be doing better than the US/UK etc.

There's got to be some reason there are still over 150 games in development for the thing with more being announced weekly.



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

Question: How much do you predict Wii U lifetime?

Bet? Withouth nothing, not avatar controll or some... i bet not only PS3 under Wii, bet even under XB360 lifetime.

You bet PS3 above both XB360 and PS3? Well, forgot the XB360, if PS3 beat Wii, you won, if not, you lose. accept?

 

WU: between 18m and 20m, 19m is what i think.

Bet? This bet would end ≈2019 when PS3 gets discontinued.
This is a very long time, I don't know if we both still are on this site in ≈2019.
