Sony's newest handheld console, the PlayStation Vita, has racked up 1.2 million sales worldwide since launch, the gaming giant has revealed.
The high-tech portable system has exceeded expectations since making its debut in Japan last December, reaching the 1.2 million mark within a few days of its successful debut in the US and Europe.
Software sales for PS Vita have been equally brisk, passing two million thanks to a robust launch line-up that includes more than 25 titles.
In the UK, the cinematic action-adventure Uncharted: Golden Abyss and FIFA Football led the charge, topping the UK all-formats chart during PS Vita's launch week.
Andrew House, president and chief executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment, said: "PS Vita was designed to deliver the ultimate portable entertainment experience and we couldn't be more thrilled with the reaction we're seeing from consumers and the pace at which PS Vita is selling."
More than 70 games are currently in development for the console, including new entries in the Resistance, Call of Duty, Bioshock and Assassin's Creed franchises.
