Pokemon Black & White 2 Dominates; PlayStation Vita Hardware Sales Fall
Pokemon Black & White 2 dominated the Media Create top 20 this week, easily outselling all other games combined. Media Create reported 1,561,738 units for the game's first two days, a bit lower than the figure Enterbrain reported earlier in the week.
Other newcomers in the chart this week include Kenka Bancho Bros. Tokyo Battle Royal for PSP in fourth with 21,797 units and K-On! After School Live HD Version for PS3 in sixth with 13,581 units. Kinect-exclusive Steel Battalion Heavy Armor debuted at 14 with 4,889 units.
Last week's number one game was Persona 4 The Golden. It placed third this week, selling an additional 29,293 units to bring its life-to-date total to 166,369 units. The PlayStation Vita hardware itself didn't fare so well, though, losing the big gains from last week as it fell to 13,589 units. Buyers may have been waiting for the system's Crystal White variation, which hits this week.
