Still think more people buy their vita games digital than 3ds users buy digital. Numbers are just slightly skewed in that regard, but of course numbers will always be better for 3ds given the userbase, no contest. It is a bit strange that Western developers sell more 3rd party vita games than Japanese developers...

Vita supporters love to trump up Vita's indie games but I believe the 3DS eshop is full of gems.  I'd give 3rd party to 3DS because most of Vita's third party games don't interest me.

But perhaps that's why 3rd parties are doing better on 3DS than on PSV: they're creating original content  instead of porting older games?


Exactely.  Content that you can´t find in a different device. Some people will just prefer to buy the home console version, specially when the Vita version is inferior, like the case of Rayman Legends

Yeah, why buy a inferior port when you can have a better experience at home? A handheld and home console are two very different things and needs different games!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

The best selling Activion game is Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure at 0.49m sales... This is a Top 10 games from 3rd parties, so we can extrapolate that 3DS > PSV for 3rd parties.

Yeah, it's a shame we can't find out how well games are doing digitally! I would love to know that. I think that the digital numbers for a 3DS lies within 5-15 % of the physical sales, but I can't remember where I've heard it, nor can I provide a source.

Yes, but that's because it's the 10th best selling 3rd party game... the 10th best selling 3rd party game on 3DS is RE: Revelevations, at 0.76m sales

3DS eshop sales are soaring.  I'm sure the percentages would be about the same if adding those.  Not sure how the 3rd party retail games are selling on the eshop but Nintendo first party digital titles such as Animal Crossing: New Leaf are selling in the millions.  AC:NL will probably end up selling at least +5m digital sales lifetime.
