Vita had some horrible weeks in early Q1 last year. Think on Demon Gaze/Monster Monpiece week it was like 9k and it was hovering around that throughout January & February. As long as it finds a better baseline than that, things will be good.

It'll obviously get much less of a March boost than last year because basically everything the system is getting is a sequel or a port (Phantasy Star Online 2 Episode 2; Hatsune Miku 2; Soul Sacrifice Delta; Samurai Warriors 4; Hyperdimension Neptunia 2 etc.) But if it's got a better baseline, that should make up for it.

Also, Sword Art Online is a bit of a wild card in April, so it might even things out.

It's the latter part of the year Sony need to nail. Good Phantasy Star Nova release date with LE bundle & price cut if needed. Should keep the system up YoY. Hopefully some other game announcements to go with it and a decent advertising push for Freedom Wars.
