| VGKing said: Japanese stores had these download codes that you could buy in-store. A majority of those downloads were actually purchased through retail. |
IMO the barrier to entry for digital sales is convincing customers they don't need a physical copy of a game, not getting them to go online and buy it, so the distinction between eShop sale and download card sale is pretty irrelevant. Both cases are a digital sale -- that is, the customer does not purchase a physical cartridge. Download cards probably just work a lot better as gifts, and as a security measure, since a lot of people don't feel comfortable entering their credit/debit card information online.

At first I thought this was really great for Vita... then I started looking into what these games are...
For starters, this is an actual screenshot from Demon Gaze, and Monster Monpiece is the game where you rub the touchscreens to remove womens' clothing.
...On second thought, these are just the sort of games the Vita needs in Japan! Godspeed, PSV.
