Vita holds steady in Japan as zombies invade Neptunia

 Hardware-wise, the Vita now has five weeks in a row tracking above last year, selling another 15,000+ units this week. It isn't huge, but it will keep the portable going into 2016. Week 44 should be the big one with God Eater Ressurection and Yomawari selling well. 
See last week's numbers.
