Still think more people buy their vita games digital than 3ds users buy digital. Numbers are just slightly skewed in that regard, but of course numbers will always be better for 3ds given the userbase, no contest. It is a bit strange that Western developers sell more 3rd party vita games than Japanese developers...

3DS eshop sales are soaring.  I'm sure the percentages would be about the same if adding those.  Not sure how the 3rd party retail games are selling on the eshop but Nintendo first party digital titles such as Animal Crossing: New Leaf are selling in the millions.  AC:NL will probably end up selling at least +5m digital sales lifetime.

I wish we could get actually digital numbers and we could stop this arugment over which system has better sales on online, I feel like vita fans try to use it as a shield in debates like this that well if had the digital numbers it be a much closer race. There are also games like Gunmen Clive that sell better on the eshop that they do on the iOS or Playstore on Android.
