PSP game tops the Japanese chart, Vita slide to end rather soon I guess

Killzone Mercenary managed to sell 11,000 physical copies to Japanese gamers, getting to No 8 in their chart, matching its UK performance. Not bad for a western FPS game in a country that doesn't really go mental for them.

Wonder if Media Create will add the old and new Vita plus the Vita TV sales together? Also, will those sales last or plummet as happened with the original Vita?
