Two PS Vita games raid the Japanese Top Six

After apologies for selling out of stock earlier in the week, both Demon Gaze and Monster Monpiece made it into the new Japanese Top 10. Sure, its a quiet week but you take good news when you can with the Vita. Hardware sales were up a little, but still below 10,000.

01./02. [3DS] Animal Crossing: New Leaf # (Nintendo)  - 82.370 / 2.366.126 (-15%)
02./01. [PS3] DmC: Devil May Cry (Capcom)- 31.627 / 142.056 (-71%)
03./00. [PSP] Gintama no Sugoroku (Bandai Namco Games)  - 27.011 / NEW
04./00. [PSV] Demon Gaze (Kadokawa Games)) - 25.316 / NEW
05./00. [3DS] Fantasy Life (Level 5)  - 25.042 / 187.772
06./00. [PSV] Genkai Totsuki Monster Monpiece # (Compile Heart) - 24.978 / NEW

Without the sell outs a No. 2 and No. 3 would probably have been in order, which isn't too bad. Will stock replenish for next week to keep them in the chart? Probably not given the usual dive in sales for most games.
