Japan chart: Vita sales fall further in slow week
3DS evergreens hold strong in software top 10.
Vita sales continued to slide in a slow week for both hardware and software sales in Japan.
Sony's new handheld shifted just 8250 units, down from 8931 last week.
Numbers were down across the board though, with a dearth of new software releases to fuel sales. The 3DS comfortably held onto the top spot, selling 63,796, compared to 72,115 the week prior, while PlayStation 3 held on to second place despite sales falling from 19,370 to 17,765.
Here's the full hardware chart, as listed on Andriasang:
- 3DS: 63,796 (Last week: 72,115)
- PlayStation 3: 17,765 (19,370)

- PlayStation 2: 1212 (1355)

There were no big new entries on the software top 20. Last week's chart-topper 2nd Super Robot Wars Z: Saisei-hen held on at number one, followed by Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance at two.
A number of long-legged 3DS titles performed well. Super Mario 3D Land climbed from six to three, Kid Icarus: Uprising held steady at five, Monster Hunter 3G rose two places to six and Mario Kart 7 was up one at eight.
Nine of the top 10 games were for handhelds, and 15 of the top 20.
