Sony have announced that the sales of the PlayStation Vita reached over 1.2 million units worldwide as of February 26, 2012. Software sales across the globe have surpassed 2 million units at both retail and on PlayStation Network.

“PS Vita was designed to deliver the ultimate portable entertainment experience, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the reaction we’re seeing from consumers and the pace at which PS Vita is selling,” said Andrew House, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

“The market has responded and there is clear demand for a mobile device capable of providing a revolutionary combination of rich gaming and social connectivity within a real world context.

“To sustain momentum, we’re working closely with 3rd party developers and publishers to ensure the best games and franchises possible will be available on PS Vita, and our software line up for the remainder of 2012 will have something for everyone across the globe.”

This is great news, as when you take the Japanese sales into account, which was 500k, the western launch was indeed very good. We will have an accurate breakdown for you soon. You can check out our complete coverage of the PS Vita over here.

Nice, some positive news for the vita!



"Software sales across the globe have surpassed 2 million units at both retail and on PlayStation Network."

Does that mean 2 million units combined or 2 million at retail and 2 million at PSN for a total of 4 million?

Likely both, as it's a shipped figure



 

Vita has sold about 580K in Japan, so that means 1.2 million - 580k = ~620K US/Europe sales?
