Updated the OP with the new weeks numbers. Nothing really happened, the Vita keeps trending below last year in Japan and in front global (without US and europe in the last year). Starting in two weeks it should be below last year global too, as the launch in US and europe kick in. What is the next thing on the horizon, that can give Vita a boost?

In Japan: Phantasy Star Online 2 at the end of February and Soul Sacrifice at the start of March. The release schedule also has quite a few minor games (25-75k) in the coming weeks and spring, so it's not too bad.

In America and Europe: Soul Sacrifice in early May, but this is merely a guess. Unless it is one hell of a game it won't move any significant amount of hardware. Next up: Killzone in September. Release schedules for both regions are almost empty and what are minor games in Japan will either not release in the West or not do anything for hardware.

So it looks as bleak as WiiU. Soul Sacrifice seems like a nice title, that will not move too much units. I may be wrong though. I have no idea how big Phantasy Star is these days. Killzone should have an effect, it will be seen if it can be more than last year though. Hmm, do you think production cost already dropped enough, so that sony can afford a price-cut?
