Quote:The latest Japanese hardware figures are in, as compiled by Japanese firm Media Create and they show that the PlayStation Vita still can't seem to beat any of its PlayStation brethren, including the PlayStation Portable.

63,796 is over triple 17,765, let alone double! XD (I'm guessing you meant 33,796?)

Main reason why PSP is outselling Vita is that companies are still supporting it more than the Vita. On those same sale charts, in the top 5 most sold titles, there's 2 PSP games. Most sold title was in fact a PSP title. Outselling Kingdom Hearts 3D at that. Japan still loves the PSP a lot.

Yeah you gotta realize that the PSP has a lot of great games that Japanese gamers love, but the Vita is primarily targeting western gamers. When the Vita brings some JRPG or even monster hunter game could help the Vita in the long run in Japan. For now Japan will keep having low Vita sales until those types of games come to the Vita.

Also if the Vita had the ability to play the PS1 and other types of PS games would be nice for the Vita.
