PS Vita sales continued to tumble in the U.S. last month, falling to about 52,000 units from about 69,400 in April (CED May 14 p7) and about 210,200 in March, its first full month available (CED April 16 p8), according to NPD data that was supplied Friday by an industry source. The system went on sale in February, but only four days of its sales were included in NPD’s data for that month, which showed that about 226,000 units were sold then (CED March 12 p4). The Vita’s estimated U.S. installed base, therefore, grew to about 557,600 through May.
