Less than a year since release, the PlayStation Vita has passed the one million units sold mark in Japan. The portable console shifted less than 8,000 units between October 1st and October 10th 2012 – one of the worst selling weeks in Japan – but managed to creep past the one million mark in the process.
Ragnarok Odyssey has sold over 100,000 units in Japan since it was launched back in February, according to publisher GungHo Online Entertainment. While the figure is small compared to other platforms and games, the figure shows steady progress on the platform, and will hopefully encourage other developers to develop games for the Vita.
SCE President Andrew House told Reuters in an interview that Sony is aiming to sell ten million PlayStation Vita systems before the end of the current fiscal year. Sony is hoping to achieve the sales target by releasing major software titles during the holiday season.
