Vita gets an RPG-inspired boost in Japan

Two new Vita games nestle neatly in the middle of the Japanese Media Create charts this week, bringing a neat little boost to the hardware sales figures, up to 11,000. The PSP continues its merry way, selling 15,000 with three news games in the chart led by the new Kamen Rider.

09./00. [PSV] Fate/Stay Night -Realta Nua- (Kadokawa Shoten) (¥6.300) - 30.583 / NEW 
10./00. [PSV] Atelier Totori Plus: The Alchemist of Arland 2 (Gust) (¥6.090) - 27.651 / NEW 
11./00. [PSP] Kamen Rider: Ultra Climax Heroes (Bandai Namco) (¥6.280) - 20.739 / NEW

I guess that's it for big Vita games this year in Japan, aside from Call of Duty and the AKB1/149 love sim in a couple of weeks. The look ahead to 2013 starts here. Stein's Gate, Demon Gaze and PSO2 (which is also free) are the only ones that really grab.
