Sony has been talking to MCV and have revealed that the PS Vita has seen a sales increase of 100% during our rather nice summer, with that success being partly attributed to the Vita Mega Packs, where 10 Vita games are sold for £35.
“Vita had a good summer, the Mega Pack is one of the things that has boosted performance by more than 100 per cent. 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,” said Sony’s UK boss Fergal Gara.
Of course the price cut for the Vita and its memory cards probably also helped, and the potential of relationship with the PS4 is also a plus, especially the Remote Play function. The interview also revealed that by the end of 2013 the Vita will have over 900 titles.

Nice to see the sales pick up. I bought mine day one and haven’t regretted it one bit, thanks to cross-buy and PS+ i use it almost every day.

by the end of 2013 the Vita will have over 900 titles.
I own 6-7 games (full games from shops) and everytime i walk into my local game or indie store there is still only 4-5 games on the shelf i dont have, where are these 900 titles. Not many console sellers on Vita really, they would help alot more than most other things, they cant compete with App Store for bus journeys and such, Vita is long car journeys.

Though with owning a Ps3, Vita, and possibly soon a PS4, PSplus needs to be made more of a priority, maybe then ill appreciate my Vita more.

Naturally it’s difficult for game stores to stock every single game there is, but I suspect that the 900 titles is being quite generous with what the Vita can play from the PSN store…

Love the Vita and glad to see it’s selling well.
It’s a great handheld and will only get better when the PS4 is launched.

Every time a screenshot of the Vita appears on here i think to myself “i need to get one of those”.Then i realise i have one,why do those photo’s of the Vita look better than the one i have?
I use my Vita every day for email and Twitter and still have games i’ve not even touched it’s one of the best purchases i’ve made.Glad the Vita is doing so well.

Hopefully the 100% growth equates to reasonable figures. Loving KZ:M and the dozens of PSN games I know have.

I certainly been using my Vita more and more recently. I’ve just ordered one of those hand grip things too in the hope it’ll make playing Killzone much more comfortable.

I love Indie games on the Vita. Those games alone make this a great piece of hardware and my feelings of buyers remores have vanished.

I nearly bought a vita on Friday in game. It was the killzone pack for £169. So tempted to get it as its a very good deal but I was put off by the weekly mess ups on the psn store. If the psn store was better run I would have got it. Would love to see a version of battlefield 4 on the vita
