The PlayStation Vita, Sony’s (NYSE:SNE) new mobile gaming system, displayed disappointing numbers in the week following its worldwide Japan debut. Japanese researcher Media Create reports a drastic decline — 75% — selling only 72,749 PSVs during that crucial week before Christmas, down from 321,400 during the first two days it hit the market.

The PlayStation Vita will be released in North America, Europe and Australia on February 22, starting at $249.
