Vita fans get ready to celebrate the first No. 1 Vita game in Japan. No real surprise here, given the success of the series in Japan, we'll have the exact numbers in a couple of hours and find out if it helped the Vita shift any more units. Gundam drops out of the Top 10 after a quick visit last week.

02. [3DS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D
03. [PS3] Lollipop Chainsaw
04. [PS3] Tokyo Jungle

This is the Famitsu chart, the Media Create (with sales figures) will be out later today.

UPDATE: Persona 4 sold 137,076 copies, while the Vita sold 34,459 units, a big post-launch record. A new PSP entry saw Akiba's Trip Plus sell nearly 30,000 copies, while Gundam was just out of the Top 10, in 11th with almost another 9,000 sales.


Hopefully Japanese gamers will be cracking open a crate of this tie-in soft drink that was doing the rounds as part of the launch marketing campaign.
