The PlayStation Vita hasn’t exactly gotten off to the greatest of starts in the year and a half it’s been on the market, but it could very well see an upswing in the months ahead.
The system has seen a huge sales boost in the United Kingdom, with a 100 percent increase over the summer thanks to the Mega Pack – a collection of ten hit Vita games bundled onto an 8 GB memory card.
“Vita had a good summer, the Mega Pack is one of the things that has boosted performance by more than 100 percent,” said Sony’s UK boss Fergal Gara. “It’s now in growth year-on-year. And you’ve seen several pieces of news at Gamescom which will only help. So that means we can feel optimistic.”
“The process of trying to drive costs down on Vita has happened just as it’s lining up to be a fantastic companion to PS4. Our optimism around Vita is growing.”
One of the bigger games for the system, the first-person shooter Killzone: Mercenary, launches this Tuesday.
