Some of you may have seen my previous thread about the large lineups in Akihabara for the new price dropped Vita. Well, more good news for the Vita, as stores in Shinjuku are reporting sellouts of stock within an hour of opening their doors, as reported by InsideGames (Japanese). It seems the official price cut at major retailers is pushing large sales for the system already, especially the Sapphire Blue and Cosmic Red color versions, as well as the new Ice Silver.

Twitter trends have also seen "Vita" as well as today's released games "(Senran) Kagura" and "PSO2" skyrocket into the top 10. Store display events featuring playable demos of One Piece Pirate Warriors 2, Oboro Muramasa, Senran Kagura, and Soul Sacrifice were crowded with both players and curious onlookers. There hasn't been this much excitement over the system since it launched over a year ago.
