NPD is useless for Vita since Sony has said how many of their sales are digital in NA.

Yes but how much of those digital sales are just for Indie and games like Retro City Rampage? No one knows exactly how much of that % make up for digital retail games like Uncharted. Could be 10%, could be 60%. We don't know.

It's just that simple.

Does it matter when you see full retail titles in the top 10 more than those small digital games?

When we don't have actual per-game numbers in terms of downloads or revenue? Absolutely. Plus even with the most optimistic read of the 30% number those numbers are still pretty ass.

They said they do a third of all Vita game sales through PSN. They don't say that it's the average ratio for all retail game specifically, or even whether they're talking about games sold at retail and not digital-only games too. Just 30% of all games.

I'm not referencing that. They said that 60% of all games were through PSN and 10+ attach rate.
