Luminous Arc Infinity lights up the Japanese Chart

While nothing is going to stop that Animal Crossing, Yokai Watch combo at the top on 3DS, the Vita does manage the highest new entry in the Japanese Media Create chart at No. 5 with Marvelous' Luminous Arc Infinity.

15./11. [PSV] Taiko no Tatsujin: V Version (Bandai Namco)  - 4.879 / 79.302 (-35%)

 No time for the little sales chart right now, but Vita hardware sales are down a few hundred, seemingly to live forever behind the PS4 now and being menaced by the Wii U.
