PlayStation Vita Week One Sales Results
Sony's newest handheld got off to a decent start in Japan where it sold 321,407 units in its first two days.
The sales number comes courtesy of Japan's retail tracker Enterbrain via Famitsu. First week sales account just for December 17 and 18. Sony said it shipped 500,000 Vitas in Japan for launch, though other reports claim the company made available an additional 200,000 units. That number hasn't been confirmed.
For comparison, the first two days of sales for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan totaled 371,326 units while just one day for PSP hit 166,074 units.
The PlayStation Vita releases on February 22, 2012 in North America and Europe.
