PSN charts, March 2013: MLB 13, Atelier Totori score big

20130104_mlb_13_the_show

In North America, MLB 13 the Show topped the PS3 charts, while Tomb Raider came in much lower than in international territories. As Kotaku points out, Atelier Totori Plus: The Adventurer of Arland topped the NA Vita despite having almost no marketing support, which is certainly interesting. Urban trial Freestyle was the Vita’s other big winner. You can check out the full North American charts below the break; PAL territory figures are also available.
