Could the tides be turning for Sony’s ailing handheld?

Atlus released Persona 4 for the Vita this week, which has not only claimed the top spot, but given the hardware sales a much needed boost. Lollipop Chainsaw launches with a decent showing, but most impressively Dragon Quest Monster’s, a remastered GBA game from 1998 is hanging on strong in second!

Sony has to understand that the Vita price needs to go down ! Persona 4 was a great opportunity to drive the hardware sales, but clealy the price was a factor here. 35 k... That's better, but that's still poor.
