Forums - Gaming - WiiU outselling the Vita

RolStoppable said:
Wii U has already passed the Vita. The shipment gap by the end of September 2015 could be reasonably estimated to be only a few hundred thousand units in favor of the Vita, then the Wii U had easily the better holiday quarter.

Did it?  The Wii U shipped 1.87 million from October to December but we also know that Sony stopped shipments of the PSTV during that quarter (to the US and Europe).

So PSV + all reamining shipments of PSTV to Europe and the US  should be somewhat of a wash against Wii U last quarter.

And Farsala has already mention the quarter that just passed (Jan-March).

Vita doesn't have Zelda U coming soon. Once that hits, Wii U will easily match it along with Paper Mario and other un-announced software. I know people who still havent bought a Wii U that are waiting for Zelda. Sad thing is, they're missing out on great games and they'll most likely get the NX version. In that case, I may take back the fact that Wii U will outsell Vita if most users buy the NX version of Zelda.

No, retailers were already trying like hell for the whole year of 2015 to get rid of their vita TVs and were basically forced to sell them at a massive discount.  You think they actually ordered an amount even worth mentioning?  Even Sony was practically giving them away selling them for like $30 on their own site.

50/50. If Nintendo confirms NX with backwards c/remasters from Wii U, Vita may win this cruel fight.

Yeah, it's like watching them fight for the last place in the last lifeboat. Meanwhile Di Caprio is comfily chilling in the icy water, so, after all, all's well that ends well.
