Sony's PlayStation Vita has sold over 1 million units in about two months of availability.
The game company announced today that it has sold over 1.2 million Vita units worldwide since the portable launched in Japan on December 17. Sony didn't break down the sales figures by country, but acknowledged that this month's launch across the U.S. and Europe helped the Vita "exceed expectations" at this point in its lifecycle.
The PlayStation Vita boasts the familiar PlayStation action buttons on the right side and dual thumbsticks. It can connect to the Web via Wi-Fi and 3G and features both front and rear cameras. The device's 5-inch OLED display doubles as a touch screen, and on the back, Sony has added touchpads for "greater hand control."
Sony's sales trumpeting comes two months after Japanese game-tracking firm Enterbrain revealed that just 321,400 PlayStation Vita units were sold during the device's first two days on store shelves. Nintendo, on the other hand, sold 371,000 3DS units during its launch period earlier in the year.
