Vita Sales Double With the Release of Persona 4: The Golden in Japan

When will companies learn. You can’t have a great handheld gaming system without great games. When there are games to actually play at a regular interval on your portable system, people are happy. When people are happy, they spend money on your products.

Case in point, according to Andriasang.com, the PS Vita more than doubled its sales from 13,383 to 34,549 in one week. All this because Persona 4: The Golden was released. Of course, this is in Japan but you can see that if games come out regularly and are good, people will buy your products. Although Gravity Rush came out this month, it almost feels like the US has to wait too long in between releases to really feel like the PS Vita was worth buying at launch. Let’s hope the Fall gaming season has a lot more to offer for the poor PS Vita so I can stop using it mainly as my Twitter feed/Netflix machine.
