Japan: (Home of the handheld)

6k to 7k Vita and no Vita software in the top 20.

What chance has it got elsewhere then?

You seem to ignore the memo: Don't judge it till its first Christmas

Vita launched before Christmas last year in Japan, so it already had it's first Christmas. Maybe we need to give it another 1 or 2 Christmas holidays.

edit: just saw your post above. ;-p

Not only did the Vita launch LATE into the holidays in Japan, it went head to head with the 3DS and Monster Hunter........it hasn't had its first full holiday yet.

Well Sony launched it at pretty much the same time as the psp way back when, so they had nearly identical selling periods.(vita had one extra day of selling iirc) The psp destroyed vita in the same time period.

For Japan the most important time during that period is New Years so they both easily made it in time for that.
