PlayStation 4 overtakes PS Vita in Japan

After almost 4 years of good and loyal service in Japan, the PlayStation 4 has just exceeded the total sales of the PS Vita on the archipelagowe learn from Media Create, whose statistics we relay to you regularly. The Sony console peaks at 5.75 million copies sold while the Vita is at 5.65 million to date.

Admittedly, it’s not a feat to do better than Sony’s nomad, but you have to admit that the Vita is experiencing decent sales in Japan, even if its international career is a real failure. It is also the performance of the PS4 which is to be welcomed (as everywhere in the world for that matter) since it is doing better in two years less, given that the PS Vita has been available for 6 years already.

Note that the PS4 has been powered by popular games lately, such as Final Fantasy XV, Dragon Quest XIOr personas 5while sales should be sustained in 2018 thanks to Monster Hunter World Or Kingdom Hearts 3. As for the Vita, it looks like the Switch hasn’t done it much good given that year-over-year sales are down 50%.
