I think electroplancton is making some valid points, and I also pointed out some important differences, with the most important beeing that WiiUs direct competitors are not available yet [while PSV came after its direct competitor], another important point beeing available, feasible system-sellers (2 potential million sellers from the get go etc.pp, see my last post for further examples, especially the possible holiday 2013 titles and other 2013 releases like Pikmin, WiiFitU, Wario, DQ10).
While all products are somehow more or less in competition the pronounciation of the "direct competition" is an imprtant one, for example PS3 because it won´t be relevant forever and actually is in its phase out phase (product cycle).
To make a recent example, please look back when 3DS launched, PSP was still a relevant platform (2011) in Japan and even outsold 3DS in some weeks. But what does it look like now?
The biggest point is that Sony in a whole year just didn´t do a whole lot to push the system.
- no significant system sellers since launch
- no price cut
- no noteworthy releases this holiday season last month (December)
In the second half of 2012 they pretty much seemed to be apathetic to the system especially in Japan, evidenced and highlighted by the lacking and disapointing December lineup.
