PlayStation Vita Sales Japan

There's been very little cause for PlayStation Vita owners to celebrate of late, but Sony's diminutive device has just hit a major milestone in Japan, crossing the 4,000,000 unit threshold. This number takes into account both handheld and PlayStation TV sales, but seeing as they're both built upon the same hardware, we reckon that that's fair game.

Of course, without meaning to rain on the portable's parade, it's perhaps worth noting that the Nintendo 3DS has sold over 18 million units to date, so we doubt that Sony's system will be catching up any time soon. Even more worryingly, the PSP crossed 20 million units domestically, so the Vita's really struggled to capture its predecessor's glory.

Nevertheless, well done, old chap – we still love you.
