With Nintendo following the same strategy of the PSVita, by not supporting it anymore at all, the third party releases on PSvita will make sure it will remain in the lead this year, I am sure.
Battle of the underdogs. Both platforms don't really have any big games coming to them to push the sales. I wonder which will come on top by the end of the generation.
Aye when their total shipments is around the same number that the Wii-U is behind the Vita by.... it would take every one of the projected shipped units selling and the Vita not selling another console for the Wii-U to come out on top... also I have no clue why someone would think the Nintendo system would be a good idea to buy now unless the NX requires you to own one to play.
In terms of the Vita games on the way you have Project Diva X, Dragon Quest Heroes 2, Banner Saga, God Eater Burst 2, World of Final Fantasy, Sword Art Online - Hollow Realization, Shantae all on the way among others.
You mean an estimation of sales Jranation? I think Sony have been pretty tight lipped about the Vita numbers since around the time the PSTV launched, they've just lumped it in with "Legacy Systems" which makes it very hard to judge the actual numbers.
