A number of western games made strong chart debuts in Japan during the week ended November 18, although none could shift Animal Crossing: New Leaf from the top spot.

According to Media Create sales data republished on NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=500773), 3DS comfortably remained the No.1 console during the week in question, while Vita bounced back from an all time weekly low to place ahead of PSP.
