Now this is pure info. No flame bait or any debate generating material.
I made the mistake of reading a thread where you post without being logged in.
The article is misleading, sensationalist bullshit. The article doesn't link to any sources at all.
The latest media create report says that the Wii U sold 7060 units while the Vita sold 31271.

A less sensationalist article would say something like:
In Japan, the Vita, after having received a significant price cut, sold ~25,000 more units that the Wii U on the week it had a massively hyped up release (the 3rd biggest to date), while the Wii U, a home console for which the last major release was Dragon Quest X in march, a port of a Wii MMO, continued at its baseline of 7000. The Wii U continues to comfortably outsell the Vita in North America while they are neck to neck in europe, the Vita having a slight edge due to the United Kingdom.
BGR is worse than GameTrailers when it comes to this. They take a **** on Nintendo at every opportunity they get. Hell, they managed to spin the massive sales of the 3DS into Nintendoomed.

Fun fact: The Wii U had sold ~4mn units in 7 months while the Vita had sold ~3.8 - 4mn units in 17 months, most of the sales for the Vita coming from a market where it received a large price cut.
