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.

RETAIL PANEL 

Data is collected each week from the following retailers and websites, representing 95% of the UK entertainment software market:

 

Amazon.co.uk	Argos	ASDA
Base.com	Brighthouse	Carphone Warehouse
Dabs.com	Game	Games Centre
Grainger Games	HMV	Independents
John Lewis	Morrisons	Office Depot
Play.com	QVC	Sainsburys
Shop Direct	ShopTo.net	SimplyGames.com
Staples	Tesco	TheHut.com
WH Smith	Xbite	Zavvi.co.uk

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.

Herp derp, I forgot about digital.

But although 95% of physical software, I suspect the places like rice digital sell a disproportionate number of Vita games for stuff like steins gate. Always presumed chart track was just the big retailers though so nice to see it's got more representative.
