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

Japanese games/hardware sales (Media Create) PSP for the win

Good news for Japanese PSP owners with the only two new entries at 11 and 20, in the form of Atelier Elkrone and Armen Noir. The PSP also holds on to the No. 1 spot in what is probably a quieter week for Japanese gamers.



On the hardware front, the Vita continues its slide, down to a rather neat 8,250 units. Chances of a price cut at Sony's May 10th event getting more likely I'd guess. It's following a general hardware trend down, with the PSP selling just over 13,000 units. Will the new Soul Sacrifice game do anything to arrest the slide?
