Vita games crack the Japanese top 10

Vita sales are back on the downward slope this week, selling 3,535 according to Media Create chart data. That's even though a couple of new Vita entries break into the Japanese top 10, the first time in a while that's happened. Regardless, the Vita is long past the time of system-selling games, what it does need is a regular flow of titles, and Japanese publishers still seem to be popping them out.

05 Uta no Prince-sama: Amazing Aria & Sweet Serenade Love 19,904
06 Itadaki Street: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary 18,784

Out this week are visual novel Sengo Muramasa DX and Shin Gundam Musou on budget release.
