When there is large demand for HW, SW demand follows. Sure new owners buy games alongside HW each week, but there are over 1 million Vita owners out there and they're buying games each week too. If the highest a game is selling this week for Vita is only 4.5k it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of interest in the games in general.


Valid point.. you just forget Vita have digital sales too .


While true, I don't believe that digital sales will have made up for that many sales. I mean the 3DS has 8 titles in the charts this week...and that's, of course, discounting digital. Physical is still very very strong and when we're only talking about a couple thousand in sales for the highest game...I wouldn't expect digital sales to be that big.

I will say though that Soul Sacrifice digital sales could be interesting.


3DS has around 10 million install base, Vita has around 1 million install base. It would be natural to think the 3DS should be selling 10 times the amount of software Vita is (retail). Although in reality it's only about 5 times that of total Vita software per week. If anyone is slacking in buying games, it's 3DS owners. When you consider the "megaton" games 3DS has, and the big number of new 3DS owners per week over Vita, it's even sadder when you look at it that way...
