1) Many Japanese retailers have already put the price cut in place. That explains the Vita's spike in sales.
2) The Wii U has upcoming games that people care about. Zelda, Super Smash, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart, Mario, X,... the list goes on. What does the Vita have in its future that makes this sales spike a continuing trend rather than just a temporary effect of a price cut? Nothing.

VG Chartz is completely unreliable, so I guess it is no wonder that you seek info from it.

I was going to say a Mario game but they already have one out. the New Super mario Wii game sold more then Mario Galaxy on the Wii. Gamers preferred the casual side scroller to the more "hardcore" offering.  |
Yes 4th quarter of 2013 sounds right. All the attention? Are gamers one track minded? Can they not want two things at the same time? Yes, money will be an issue, but the Wii U has been out for some time now. A chunk of people won't have to drop money down for the console. Both will do well this holiday season.
And lbr, Monster Hunter 4 will be ported from the 3DS to the Wii U which will just help the Wii U even more.
It's a good system, but I've gotten so uninterested with it already.
Releasing powerful consoles and handhelds with a lackluster release lineup... the games make the system, not the other way around. They should know this by now...

Just proves how bad the whole Wii Unsold idea was in the first place
