The Vita is the first console I've seen that has a store where games are almost always cheaper than their physical counterparts, perhaps that is because there is a smaller user base so game stores give it less shelf space and far less room for their special offer section, I'm not sure. but Vita physical sales are not a good way to judge performance of a game on the platform imo. |
I think this hits the nail on the head. The cheapest you're looking at in store for most Vita games, even pre-owned is generally around £20 here, while the digital store can often have prices a hell of a lot cheaper. If you look at GAME for instance, their pre-owned copies (obviously this wouldn't count towards sales either) of AC3:L are £15, which is still more expensive than the digital copy. Vita thrives on digital, which is why physical always looks to be such a small amount IMO.
