Vita doubles sales in a hectic week in Japan

The major entries were:

10./00. [PSV] Resident Evil: Revelations 2 (Capcom)  - 15.932 / NEW
13./00. [PSV] Saki Saki National (Kaga) - 13,698 / NEW
14./00. [PSV] Sengoku Musou 4 Empires (Koei) - 13,056 / NEW

Borderless Mission did well despite poor reviews, Resident Evil did as well as it could, since the Vita version is incredibly late to the party, and compromised by Sony's poor development efforts. Some romance novels and other manga fun giving the Vita six games in the top Media Create top 20, with more further down the list.
