The PS Vita's sold 500k units in Japan alone, is getting Netflix in time for Western launch.

The numbers look great when stacked up like that, but it's hard to forget that the system sold just over half of that tally within its opening weekend, before taking a significant dip in the days following.

While on the subject of PlayStation Vita, Hirai also took the time to announce that Netflix — which recently released in the UK — will be available on the device near launch in both North America and Europe. The streaming video service is currently targeting a "day one" launch, but would not commit to the February 22nd date. We're sure it will be there though.
