The PlayStation 4's taken another tumble as its Japanese price drop nears, selling through just over 4000 units. Sony's newest console should see something of a rebirth once the cut hits early next month, but it remains to be seen whether or not the price drop will have a lasting positive effect on sales without any blockbuster games to go along with it.

Meanwhile, the Vita has maintained its reasonably solid run that's seen it through the last few weeks. The handheld device sold around 19,000 units, and although that isn't a particularly large number, the portable hardware is clearly enjoying some stability in its home nation.
