Is there a chance the WiiU will be below 5k in the future or is that too unrealistic?

Everyone is either buying a Vita or their 8th 3DS this week so it's possible.
When I began writing this letter, I had the notion that I would write about something positive and optimistic instead of going on about how vilipensive Vita is. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything particularly positive to write about. So, instead, I'll just tell you that Vita is a myth-generating machine. Let's start with my claim that this is a lesson for those with eyes to see. It is a lesson not so much about Vita's twisted behavior but about the way that if they could speak, the birds, snakes, and other creatures who are our Earth brothers and Earth sisters would really say that Vita's camorra has found a rallying cry for its upcoming battle against our most treasured liberties. That rallying cry is, "Things have never been better!" It's quotes like that that make me realize that Vita secretly has been scheming to adopt approaches that have not been tested to try to solve problems that have not been well defined. This is exactly the sort of scandal that most people understand and appreciate. It's what opens people's eyes to the reality that Vita is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens evaluate the tactics he has used against me. Responsible citizens indisputably do not lock people up for reading the "wrong" classes of books or listening to the "wrong" kinds of music. In summary, I am growing wearyand waryof Vita's squalid communiqués.

I don't know if you have an idea of how many bugs the game had. They did some patches and the like, I think they also released a completely bug-free version on the eShop but the userbase knows how untrusty is the development team.
Anyway I'm not expecting Konami to completely give up on the IP. It was its most successful IP in Japan last generation, in particular with all merchandising.

Is there any information confirming the eShop release is bug-free? Whilst I suspect it is, I haven't heard anyone confirm this is the case. It never hit the eShop top 20 as far as I'm aware also (not that's a necessary indication as the January digital Fire Emblem Awakening release I don't believe charted).
Anyways, looking forward to the most exciting Media Create since the holidays

That's true, we don't have any confirmation. I just thought that, being released on the eShop 10 months after the retail release, it was a bug-free version.

Both the textual and the graphical part are hilarious. XD What's the source of the gif?

I have something special prepared for the new thread.

Did you attach a Vita to a rocket with some tape for a representation of its numbers?

Thread will be brutal if Wii U is even lower. As for Vita I am more interested in the coming months and how big the drop will be and where it stabilizes.

Wii U will be considerably lower. Why would it hold it's number when nothing is available to maintain them? I'd wager around 5k or 7k

An hour from now:
for a Vita revival?
It can't be for a Wii U death. I want Wii U to hit 2k for the week in Japan so I can get that promised 3rd Party Nintendo Direct sooner

I'd guess Wii U will be 7-8k.

I expect a biiiig drop since the first week sales were pretty big. I don't think Rising has legs.
Choose a number between 10% and 20% and multiply it for first week sales?

Next week will be fine with SS and Tales imo, week after not so much.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
'Twas the night before Vita Christmas, when all through the thread,
Not a troll was to be found, declaring Vita "so dead"
Predictions and bar graphs were assembled with care
In hopes that grinning Kaz gifs soon would be there.

A new challenger has appeared.
Depending on the outcome, I might also throw a little something into the mix
(not completely new though)

On the LovePlus front, the last I heard Nene's voice actor was taking a break from work, which likely put a damper on development of any re-release or sequel.
They did however announce a social game called "LovePlus Collection" a few days ago. The 3 girls are there, and a new 4th girl has been shown (yet to be named). Whether she'll be in a future 3DS LovePlus or not, I don't know, and there's no info on how LP Collection will play. She's pretty cute though, so I hope there's another game someday. I've got around 180 hours on NLP.

i hope Vita will do well, but the perspective of seeing more kaz gifs is sickening me.

Not sure why ppl keep saying this as its fallen under 10k already is pretty ugly. 8-10k not a big difference.
If it starts to fade down to 5-7k thats when things get into another range of concen imo
Oboro muramasa? I think they have Doa 5 plus too...
The gaffers were nestled all snug in their threads,
While visions of vita gifs danced in their heads.
And Kaz in his kerchief, with my 3DS in my lap,
Had just settled our brains for a long thread full of crap.
Those are ports....
