Japanese Sales Chart: PS Vita #2 in Hardware Thanks to Strong Persona 4 Dancing All Night Launch

While it didn’t come close to the 260,000 copies sold by Fire Emblem Fates, Persona 4: Dancing All Night for PlayStation Vita still had a strong debut, selling just over 94,000 copies last week in Japan. As a result of the game’s success, PS Vita hardware sales were #2, nearly doubling to 23,134.

Elsewhere, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward saw the majority of its sales on PlayStation 4 (38,758 vs 8,729 on PlayStation 3), and the PS4 itself managed to jump ahead of the Wii U in hardware.
