Sony’s PlayStation Vita was the best selling console in Japan last week according to the latest sales data from Famitsu.
The machine relegated last week’s chart-topper 3DS LL into second place with PS4 in third, although all hardware suffered week-on-week declines. The Wii U slipped one place to sixth, having been overtaken by the vanilla 3DS.
The biggest surprise in the software Top Ten was a seventh place debut for EA’s Titanfall, which as well as being a Western game is also on Xbox 360.
It was a good week for Bandai Namco which claimed three of the Top Five games thanks to new entries Super Robot Taisen Z and Crayon Shin-Chan.
