What is happening with Vita? Why these Japan numbers? And most of all, why is it selling like that in the rest of the world (it's like 13k outside the main regions)? |
Unlike in the west it actually gets a decent stream of third party games in Japan, even if many of them are smaller titles and multiplats, plus the back catalogue is pretty good when you look at it (God Eater 2, FFX HD, Soul Sacrifice, Toukiden, Persona 4 etc.). It's been consistantly doing 25k-30k these past few weeks, and this week Hatsune Miku Project Diva F 2 (or whatever it's called) launched with a nice HW boost. Vita's holding its own in Japan on its own merits

Also the VAT increase caused some people to go ahead and buy items.

Perhaps, but an extra 5% on 20000yen is only an extra 1000, so about $10 (~£7?) so I doubt the effect was that massive. Jewellery and cars were probably affected far more, maybe big electricals like TVs and fridges, that kind of thing
