Vita sales clinging on in Japan

Vita sales are almost identical to last week at 2,912, according to the latest Media Create chart data.

Over in Famitsu land, the latest review scores are in with a bunch of Vita games coming soon. Bizarrely, Pro Jikkyou Baseball scores the same as God of War, just showing how screwy their scoring system is!!!

NadeRevo! Nadeshiko Revolution 24/40 (visual novel, girls)
Natsuiro Kokoro Log 28/40 (another visual novel, girls)
Utawarerumono: Chiriyukusha he no Komoriuta 32/40 (not a visual novel at all)
Tengai ni Mau, Iki na Hana 33/40 (you get the idea, but this one is boys)
Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 2018 38/40
