| MikeRox said: Vita sales are massively undertracked as we know that there are an awful lot more digital sales on the system than you normally get on a console. Wasn't there something from Sony that said as much as 50% of software sales on Vita are digital? I wonder how many sales Gravity Rush and Uncharted haven't registered due to them being claimed via PS+. Also 3DS might have 16 500k sellers, are any of them also on Vita? It's generally a common consensus that while the Vita has great games, it doesn't have enough "big" exclusives. It would be interesting to see accurate sales for the multi format 3DS/Vita releases. There are quite a few Vita titles have sold better than their 3DS counterparts despite the much smaller userbase. Surely at 40m to 6m using extrapolation a 3DS game selling 500k is the equivalent of a Vita game selling 75k on a sales to users ratio. |
I think your reply is MASSIVELY EXAGGERATED...why is it that when Sony sales are involved they are undertracked while Microsoft and Nintendo sales are overtracked. For now we'll stick with what they are ok? As for your 50% digtal sales...it's actually much lower than that; Sony said at MOST it was 1/3 and that was a mock survey that the Sony did themselves (hmm...maybe a little EXAGGERATION on their part) . Anyways, if Vita software sales are undertracked so are 3DS's as Nintendo's Digital Software sales have been on a tear lately!!!
