As he said in the interview: "Compared to PS3, Vita has had a higher percentage of games bought digitally since it was first launched.More Vita games are still consumed through physical game cards than they are through digital, but things are increasingly moving the other way." |
Since all of the current-gen systems have the ability to download most retail games, I don't really see your point. Even if Vita had a somewhat higher percentage as compared to the other systems, it wouldn't really change the fact that the other systems have more big-selling games in a shorter time, or the fact that the 3DS has three games that have sold more copies than there are Vitas.
Keep in mind, this isn't intended as a slight against the Vita - I'm not asserting that the Vita has only bad games (I'm quite sure that it has some great games). All I'm pointing out is that it's the game situation that is holding Vita back - that there's no game out there convincing people that they need a Vita, when the PS4 exists with most of the same franchises but in higher fidelity. It's something Sony needs to rectify - it needs to bring something to the Vita that you just can't do anywhere else (including on the PS4).
