Down we go

Last week’s exceptional PlayStation Vita performance was a one-off it seems. With the excitement surrounding Persona 4: The Golden now restored to a reasonable level, the handheld plunged to just 13k units. Not horrific, but far from exceptional either.

One hypothesis for the Vita’s relatively sluggish week centres on the imminent release of the crystal white hardware redesign. The refreshed system didn’t hit Japanese shelves in time to factor into these figures, so could make a big impact on next week's chart. Maybe.

Elsewhere, Tokyo Jungle continued to perform well above expectations. The bonkers PS3 exclusive added another 18k units to its total tally, and settled for fifth position on the overall software chart.

The full list of hardware and software sales numbers are included below. And no, the Pokemon figure isn't a typing error. Good grief.
