In the second post of this thread, I compare games that's out on both the 3DS and the Vita. Two things should be noted: Rayman Origins was released on the Vita 3 months before the 3DS version, and those games are the 10 best selling multiplat games for the VITA, NOT the 3DS. If the systems shares any more games together, most likely they sold better on the 3DS than on Vita. The 3DS has a lot more 3rd party games it seems, so it was a lot harder to extract sales data from multiplat games on that platform, since I had to look through a hell of a lot more games than I had to go through on the Vita.
And further more, the 3DS has 47 3rd party games that sold 0.3m or more, while the Vita has... well... 10 games that did 0.3m or more.
I honestly don't know what else you want. The 3DS has the best top 10 selling 3rd party titles, the 3DS has a lot more games that did just as good, or better than the 10th best selling games on PSV, and most multiplat games sold better on 3DS.

Just some accurate figures inc digital downloads. We know the physical tracking of smaller IPs is dubious at best so I wouldn't trust the figures you have given for either system and so fear your analysis is based on completely flawed data.

Yes, it is regretable that we can't use digital sales, and as such trying to track ANY game sales these days is flawed. This whole site is flawed because of it. Even the NPD numbers are flawed. The only numbers we can truly trust are those from the actual companies, and we don't get them too often. But I still think that the numbers I've provided gives us an idea of how well 3rd parties are doing on each platform. I haven't seen a better analys of this particular subject anywhere else.
