Vita is in a better place now than it was in 2012 in general.  Cheaper; smaller & in more colours (bigger deal than you'd think in Japan) and with a better software library.  Much of which you can pick up pre-owned now.

I'm sure some FFX's popularity did spill over into this week, though.

For sure. It's to note that the Vita was already high last week, and this week jumped higher than this time last year. It's just my gut that FFX is the cause for the bigger sales this year. Hard to jump when you're already high is kind of what I mean.

That's what I was meaning with my first paragraph though.  It's had a stronger 2013 in general; and it had a much better holiday season this year than last year (it managed ~ 4k at one point in November last year).  So seeing it "up" in general isn't that surprising.  I suspect with a little pushing Sony could get it higher again in 2014.
