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.

Great example. I've been wanting to buy that game since it came out and finally decided to buy it when it dropped to 8euro. 

I have around 10 retail copies and more than 40 digital games exluding ps+ games. Almost every single game I can think of costs more at retail. Dragon Ball Battle of Z is another example. £12 on psn and more than £20 in retail.

There are 4 game shops in the small enough town I live at, from Near there are 16+ psvita owners who bothered to allow near share location data but yeah... they don't even have that Dragon Ball Z game in stock here, only 1 of them I noticed got in a copy of God of War 1+2, so digital is the only real option unless you happen to live in a larger area where you'll find a game shop who is willing to use floor space for vita games.
