Mary Skelter dashes into the Media Create chart

The latest Media Create chart is out in Japan, as we hit full bore release season, Mary Skelter is the only Vita entry at No. 4, selling 18,500, not far behind Paper Mario Color Spash and Tomb Raider. Out tomorrow in Japan are Macross Delta Scramble, Idol Death Game TV and Reco Love.


Vita sales continue their gentle decline to 8,772 for the week, with only World of Final Fantasy likely to give it a boost before the new colours arrive. PlayStation VR sold 51,000 units, with PS4 sales up over 30,000.

Also out today, the latest Famitsu scores for a bit of a laugh, given that Berserk on Vita scores the same score as the PS4 version - is it really as good? Guess we'll find out when the gameplay clips turn up on YouTube. SAO gets the same score as the PS4 version too, do they even check? Most of these are out next week on the 27th.

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk  – 9/9/9/8 [35]
My Teen Romantic Comedy  – 8/7/7/8 [30]
Neo Atlas 1469 – 8/8/10/7 [33/40] (yep, a 10 from one reviewer)
