[QUOTE="Nathan Drake, post: 4679961, member: 271209"] Why are people saying that the next few months of Wii U games are going to be amazing in terms of selling the system? It's still just more first party content on a gamers console. In the past, this has done nothing but keep the system afloat (see: Gamecube and N64). The Vita may not be getting a lot of great games, but the Wii U is still only getting first party titles that are either HD remakes of Gamecube content (see: LoZ: Windwaker), or more of the same that we've been seeing in slightly improved forms on each new system, both handheld and home console, for the past 20 years. Are you telling me that's somehow going to pick the Wii U up from the ground and sell it? The Wii U [i]will not[/i] be the Wii. It needs third party exclusives a lot more than first party titles. Unfortunately, Sony has not released overall sales numbers for the Vita since June 2012, so we only really know that in its first four months of being released worldwide, it moved a total of 2.2 million systems. The Wii U moved 3.45 million within about the same time period of four months looking at it's March 31st, 2013 numbers. Seeing as Sony hasn't been releasing sales numbers, it could be doing much better than the Wii U. Seeing as they are two different markets though (handheld vs home console), it's understandable that Sony wouldn't want to release them if they were much lower than the 3DS. I honestly don't know why Nintendo has been releasing their Wii U sales numbers. They're pretty damned bad. Regardless, the systems can't actually be compared in terms of success without more up to date Vita sales figures. This thread pretty much will just serve to have a Nintendo loving circle-jerk and nothing more. [/QUOTE]
