Where actually track Vita sales? I only ask, because I'm not convinced these charts are representative for physical Vita sales. I think it's more down to whatever stock the companies that DO report to chart-track actually have in stock. I mean PQUBE confirmed (I'm sure despite the PS3 ver charting leading to everyone thinking that was the more successful version) that the Vita version of Stein's Gate was 80% of sales. |

Chart Track showed Steins;Gate Vita in the combined formats top 40 and PS3 version like third among PS3 games (of which none were in the top 40 combined) so I don't see the problem with what you said? Vita version probably had longer legs too.
Plus, digital sales aren't tracked.
