Another week in Japan, another sad release window for PlayStation Vita games. Despite the presence of big hitters like Soul Sacrifice and Muramasa Rebirth, the Nintendo 3DS still managed to eke out the Vita with its software sales according to the latest Media Create charts.
While overall hardware sales saw a drop from the previous week, Nintendo’s Tomodachi Collection: New Life still managed to reign on top, selling 103,479 units for a total of 862,054 units in lifetime sales. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon came in second, selling 31,345 units (for a lifetime sales total of 691,921 units).
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is still going great guns with 25,460 units sold this week for roughly 3.2 million lifetime unit sales thus far. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, the only non-3DS title in the top 5, managed to sell 13,314 units for a total of 169,996 lifetime units, and Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission sold 7,359 units (with 184,516 lifetime sales).
This week saw the Vita drop to the fourth position in sales, and was synonymous for the lack of any big releases.
