Well, actually your thread proves that 3rd party perform better on PSV. The combined sum of 3DS 3rd party titles is a little more than 2 times the Vita result on a console with 6 times the installed base. About developing games for them, I only see a viable alternative in doing simple games that are cheaper to develop to get money with those numbers.

I don't understand how 0.30m > 0.64m... That's btw the lowest selling numbers on the Vita's top 10 vs 3DS's top 11. The 3DS has 47 games developed by 3rd parties that's sold 0.30m or more, where the Vita only has... well, 10, such titles.

But that's my point. Two times more sales but with seven times the installed base. It should be proportional, but the difference is big. If PSV had half the base of 3DS, it would outsell its 3rd party titles going by that proportion.

Besides that, specifically for these two consoles, VGC game data basically doesn't means nothing because of the lack of digital tracking (I already did a thread about that). P4G is at more than 0.7M (Atlus data) and VGC has it at 0.6M. Dragon's crown total (PS3+Vita) is 0.64M on VGC, while official sales data with digital is at 0.8M (and it's from the beginning of December and probably Vita version has more digital data). Right now, we can safely say that only the publishers and Sony/Nintendo know how much these games sold (all I said counts to 3DS with digital sales too).
