Fez races to the top of the Vita's PSN top sellers list

Coming as little surprise, the indies dominate the old guard on the Vita UK store's top selling list with Phil Fish's Fez (converted superbly by Blitworks) besting the joys of Luftrausers and Steamworld.

1. Fez
2. Luftrausers
3. Steamworld Dig
4. Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z
5. Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F
6. Toukiden
7. Assassin's Creed III Liberation
