Square Enix’s port of Final Fantasy III for the PlayStation Portable was released to much success in Japan, coming in at number one on the region’s sales charts.
The PlayStation Vita is still struggling to gain traction, likely in part to how popular the PSP still is, and that, coupled with the fact that Nintendo’s 3DS is currently an unstoppable force that only exacerbates the issue. Well, at least one of Sony’s handhelds is doing well…
