Good for you, Zelda will still outsell all those games combined and it fully deserves too.
My post isn't argueing which console will outsell the other because they both sell like trash anyway. I'm saying that just because one console outsells the other it doesn't mean it's better, which is what some people here seem to think (the same people who will argue that the Vita has a better library than the 3DS mind you).
I'm also 100% sure that if some Wii U exclusives were Vita exclusives instead they'd be on your list now. Lol.

People here are not comparing the quality of the games, but their potential to move hardware. You (and some other Nintendo fans) are the one ranting about quality of Wii U games being higher than Vita's - which can easily be questioned. But this topic isn't a place for that, we're talking sales, not quality of games. And the fact is - Vita with zero Sony support and only a limited Japanese support is way ahead of Wii U, despite it getting all major games from Nintendo. And there is no upcoming game, including Zelda, that has a higher selling potential than what was already released - mainly MK and Smash.
In this cripples' fight, the quality and quantity of the games doesn't really matter that much. The main factor is the moment in which Sony and Nintendo decide to stop shipments. From what we know, NX is looming, while the chance of Sony replacing Vita is next to zero. Add to that the very significant lead that Vita already has and the favourite is clear. Wii U will die the day Nintendo unveils the NX home console, not when they release it, but when they announce it. And that may even happen in about 6 months. Vita on the other hand has so many games announced for 2016, that it's a given it will survive till 2017 at the very least. Sony wouldn't screw Square-Enix this hard considering how strong their support for PlayStation has been as of late.
Also, I have no idea why people believe Wii U is going to have an incredible Christmas period. It will be better than Vita's, but what games are coming this year to make it that great? Last year we got Smash, I can't see anything in 2015 that comes close to it to drive the sales, so unless Nintendo cuts the price significantly, this is going to be by far the worst Christmas for Wii U. The long overdue cut is possible, due to the Japanese PS4 price cut and as a manner of early warehouse clearance before the inevitable NX bomb, and it is the only thing that can save Wii U this Christmas.
Vita... Vita just needs to keep on floating the way it is. It already has two games announced for 2016 that are potential 1+ mil sellers (DQ Builders and Minecraft: Story Mode) and another solid seller in World of FF. It'll be fine in 2016.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
