PSP2, Switch 2 and an Xbox handheld... a brighter portable future?

Vita sales almost double in Japan after end-of-production

Ah, the good old dead-cat bounce, when any product is snapped up before the end of its life. So it proves in Japan, where the new Media Create chart might lack any Vita games, but unit sales leap (a relative term admittedly) to 3,287 units.

While the news was only announced a week ago, it sent Japanese buyers (and importers) rushing to pick up new units as fans and resellers act before Vita becomes an increasingly rare collectible. Wonder how long it will go on for? Until all the last new boxes are finally off the shelves for ever.

Of course, Sony won't miss a few thousand sales a week, or the dribble of income from PSN and boxed game sales, and those pesky memory cards. But for fans the chase is on! Gotta catch 'em all (I think).


The next games that might just dent the quiet JP chart, Dead or Alive 6 is at no. 1 with only 26K sales are Full Kiss (Entergram) and KonoSuba RPG: God's Blessing (Entergram) out on the 28th March.
