AC liberation was on sale on psn all last month for 8euros here, considering the cheapest you would find it at retail is 20euros or more it's not that surprising that the number of physical sales on the Vita aren't so high but I would doubt that liberation didn't break the million sales mark with that sale recently.

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.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention too that the 20euros AC3:L in gamestop was indeed second hand so you're getting a copy of the game which is used for double that of the digital cost during the sale anyway.

Right now that May madness sale which is going on some of the stuff on there is stupid low pricing

F1 2011 (full vita game) 3.99

Real Boxing (full vita game) 3.99

Tekken 6 / Soul Calibur Broken Destiny bundle (2 psp games) 6.99

Terraria 5.09

MGS3HD 6.99

Stranglers Wrath HD 4.99

Limbo 4.99

Ridge Racer:Ultimate edition (full vita game plus all dlc bundle) 9.99

MGS (psone classic) 4.99

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (psp game) 4.99

Castlevania Symphony of the Night (psone classic) 4.99

Tekken 2 (psone classic) 2.49

All those prices are Euro btw and that sale continues until the 5th of june if people have been neglecting their Vitas I would advise checking the store in the next week if you fancy a bargain.

That's just a few of the things which stand out to me, but there is about 20 more psone and psp games on offer there for pocket change really, gamestop even pre owned stuff doesn't come near these kinda pricing for the convience of having it on your vita all the time (providing you have shelled out enough for a decent sized memory card to begin with ofc)
