Ah.. ok.. XBox360 also sold better, but that " better" is so low that it hardly has any relevance.....

PSP is up almost 7k on last week.

The 3DS pricecut happened before the Vita's launch.

It's nice to see Vita breathing again. I want to see this industry shake the stigma that tablets and phones are killing it. Nothing would say that more than not one, but two dedicated gaming handhelds doing well.

The stigma you speak of is not found in Japan, but in Western markets, and as long as dedicated gaming handhelds keep posting poor and/or 'just ok' numbers, that stigma will continue.

Only in Japan could Xbox sales jumping by 2/3rds mean so little. That would be absolute madness in the west.

Good on Vita. I hope the Vita will be able to maintain a minimum of 40K going forward as its software release schedule seems non-existent in Japan from April through Summer.
