Visual novels keep the Vita trundling along in Japan

Almost exactly matching the dismal pattern of 2013, Vita sales are glued to the bottom of the winter sales trend this week, but still sold another 8,200 consoles in Japan.

11./00. [PSV] Kamaitachi no Yoru: Rinne Saisei (5pb.) - 6.140 / NEW
...
14./00. [PSV] Diabolik Lovers: Lost Eden (Idea Factory) - 5.537 / NEW
...
17./10. [PSV] Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition  (Sony) - 4.025 / 1.110.103 (-12%)
18./12. [PSV] Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony  (Spike Chunsoft) - 3.187 / 115.840 (-24%)

 Super Robot Wars V is out today in Japan, and has an English subs version for Asia, so sales could do pretty well.
