Vita holds steady in Japan as zombies invade Neptunia

01./00. [3DS] 7th Dragon III Code: VFD (Sega)  - 72.477 / NEW
02./01. [3DS] Yo-Kai Watch Busters:  (Level 5)- 26.512 / 1.654.171 (-6%)

04./00. [PSV] Blanc + Hyperdimension Neptunia Vs. Zombie (Compile Heart) - 19.990 / NEW

09./16. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition (Sony)  - 8.544 / 367.716 (+13%)

12./07. [PSV] Tokyo Xanadu # (Nihon Falcom) {2015.09.30} (¥6.998) - 7.627 / 112.041 (-51%)


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.
