Apparently money is given for new year in Japan. So then the kids/teenagers spend that on what they actually want and quite a lot of them wanted a Vita.

According to the Japanese charts thread, the parents buy Nintendo consoles, hence their pre Xmas rise in sales, then when money is given for new year, they run out and buy Sony systems.

No idea how true that is. But it would make some sense.

That's possible, but this would still be 250%+ of last year's sales for this week. So, something seems to have changed.

Apparently on a percentage front, the rise is comparable with the previous year. But yeah YOY jump is fantastic. Hopefully it signals a much better more established year for the system :D I can live with Japanese hand me downs.
