PSP2, Switch 2 and an Xbox handheld... a brighter portable future?

Latest UK Vita chart, new faces and old

While still failing to bother the all-formats chart much, Tearaway is stuck by pritt-stick to the top of the UK Vita chart, joined by its Media Molecule buddy LBP. Injustice fails to crack the top 10, arriving at 12 (despite that super-cheap Argos deal, perhaps I'm the only one that brought it).

On the plus side, only 4 of the top 12 are over a year old now, but Sony needs to get its developers and partners moving if there's to be much life here in 2014, with mostly some Japanese imports coming our way.




On the hardware front, the PS4 launch has finally dethroned the PSP as the most successful console launch in the UK, that was eight years ago, how times have changed! PS4 sold over 250,000 to the PSP's 185,000 (And how did Sony manage to screw that one up?) What's alarming is it managed that with no killer app game and mostly rehashed titles. Guess they'll think the same way for the PS5 and the Xbox 2.
