Persona 4 heads for the 200,000 mark, while Metal Gear continues to sell helpful, if not great, numbers. The PSP version of Time Travelers is out next week.

The Media Create figures mirror these pretty much with the Vita a few dozen units up in hardware, with a life-to-date figure of 831,000. Persona 4 sold 6,000 copies according to their figures and should easily pass 200,000 this week, so pretty much one in four Vita owners possess that game.
