It's still the worst selling console overall, just not this week (in Japan). I guess every dog has its day!

They need to price the WiiU at $199 and they'll slaughter the competition.
It's just too costly right now.

Not enough games at the moment that could interest people.
Same reason for Vita's death.
You do realise that the 3DS and Vita aren't direct competitors right? If you're just throwing comparisons around why not include smart phones and tablets?
I am too busy being Dreamcast Master Race right now.
It had two screen before it was cool

More or less they are if people are looking for a dedicated gaming device, 3DS has been snatching up the PSP core userbase, while the casuals have shifted to smart devices.
Where are you sourcing that information? The available 3DS software seems unlikely to "snatch up" the PSP's core demographic.
DS/3DS isn't casual gaming? Interesting.
I'd imagine most people would just get rid of another device, if it's possible. Thus the iPhone with it's ~250-300 million units since 2007.
Monster hunter tri 3G. Oh and MH4 to follow. A game that saved the PSP hardware in Japan. Nintendo not risking it again by money hatting it for sometime.
A lot of those Japanese games series that have been on the PSP, have seen some follow ups on the 3DS, don't ask I'm not into it.
Quite a few Mature titles, like RE R, street-fighter, DOA, tekken etc.....
You're confusing the passion for MH and multiplayer gaming on portables, with the PSP's core demographic. The 3DS is still predominantly a "Nintendo" handheld and as such appeals/is targeted at a different group of people.
The Wii U has a problem that it's in no-mans land. No games at the moment and as time passes to announce those games, announcements from MS and Sony are likely to dilute the impact....rendering the Wii U more or less the domain of the already Nintendo converted.
You are saying MH fans are not a PSP core demographic?
Then what is apart from first party games? Technically any system can receive an exclusive game to get fans to play on the system.
This is judgement day for Wii Unitarians. Repent, ye sinners, repent!
I miss Valwinian on the Temp );
The Vita will be the underdog like the PSP was.
Comparing a console to a handheld is like comparing a car to a bike.
Why couldn't this stay in the EOF? I have to be a bit more serious now. ;_;
If not Nintendo, someone going find away to use any wifi connection for streaming.
Like people want a "scaled" down version of the ps3 with their Vita's?

Not sure if you are serious, but they are already selling at a loss and they said a price drop isn't happening.
Actually really looking this, this is all Nintendo's fault. They haven't really given the Wii U the attention it deserves from them, being their newest product. There are too many delayed games for the system, not enough interesting launch titles, and all of their Nintendo Directs are pretty telling people that the only time the system will get interesting is late Spring, Summer, and Fall, which means there really is no point of buying it until then. Nintendo should have started developing their games earlier to meet the demands of of the launch title and should also start focusing more advertisements on the system. The only time I ever saw any advertisements for it, was a week before the release and the following month after that. Since then I barely see anything about it, it's like the system is already being phased out or something.
And that's exactly while it's failing - not so powerful hardware for WAY too much.
The PSP undoubtedly benefited from the Monster Hunter games, but a console is not targeted at a particular franchises fans. Consider the games that represented the PSP's best output - RPGs, SRPGs and 3rd Person Action/Adventure. You're making claims that could equally be made about Metal Gear Solid or God of War. It's not a particular game but game genre's/styles that determine audiences. Believe it or not but fighting games were probably just as prevalent on the DS as the PSP.
Maybe I missed them but I don't see a deluge of RPG's, SRPG's and 3rd Person games (like Metal Gear, God of War, Daxter) on the 3DS.
