NG top scores in Famitsu, plus latest Media Create data

While the Vita crawls toward 6 million sales in Japan over 7 years, Nintendo announced the Switch hit 5 million sales in a little under two years in its home country, rapidly closing in on the PS4's 7 million.

I was away last week, and just as well as the Vita did a summer flop down to 2,540 (down along with most hardware, except the PS4 Pro) according to the Media Create sales figures. Even so, still not bad for a what's fast becoming a gaming anachronism. On the game chart, VN Killer and Strawberry popped into the chart selling a decent 4,532 at No. 17.

This week's figures aren't much better, down a little more at 2,452 falling in line with most other hardware, except Switch rooted at 45K units. Otomate title Pio Fiore sold a hefty 5,153 copies to land at No. 19.




On the plus side Vita exclusive horror game NG aka "No Good" scored eights across the board as the joint top scoring game in this week's Famitsu reviews. It should make a decent impact on the chart when it releases next week.
