Vita sales quadruple in Japan

September 5th, 2012, 22:03 Posted By: wraggster

Sony's PlayStation Vita saw a dramatic sales spike in Japan this week, more than quadrupling from 9,751 units the week prior to 46,877. The surge was driven by the release of Sega's rhythm action game Hatsune Miku Project Diva F, which shifted 158,009 units and topped the all-formats software chart.
The scale of Hatsune Miku's feat is further underscored by the sheer number of new releases this week, with the top ten almost entirely refreshed. 3DS title Devil Summoner Soul Hackers came in at number two (with a total of 73,690 units) while MAQL's Senran Kagura Burst rounds out the top three with another 3DS release - only just behind Devil Summoner with 70,569.
Other new entries included Neptune V, Gundam Age, Aqua Pazza,Sengoku Basara HD Collection and Rurouni Kenshin.
