Forums - Sony - Sony: nearly half of PS Vita’s game sales are digital (48%)

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/10/sony-talks-ps-vita-reveals-new-statistics?abthid=52f95ddb5669a7531a000052

But there’s more to report. For starters, nearly half of PS Vita’s game sales – 48 percent, to be exact – are digital. Sony also reports that nearly 1,000 games are currently on PS Vita, though this certainly counts PSone Classics and digital PSP titles.

Not surprising when at least half of their games are digital only.



Fuck the 2 above me

pretty much this



Cool, the Vita Slim will also come to the US with a Borderlands 2 bundle for 199$, which makes sense to promote the game and the console there.

I can't imagine Vita isn't profitable if you factor in the memory upon which all of those 48% of purchases are on. I paid 120 to get a 64GB card. That should be mostly profit and that doesn't include any games I bought for it.

Definitely. Sony isnt lowering memory cards for a reason. Also the reason they no longer use the original screen in the first models 



Does PS+ Count as part of the 48%?

I've said this a million times before. Sales charts will never be accurate until NBD can track digital sales.
Digital sales have been huge for the past few years. Those DLC COD packs, Indie games, there sales that are almost never tracked.
I own over 30 Vita games and not one of them is a physical copy.



Digital does great on vita. Even big retail games like killzone push impressive digital ratios.

ioi has some tough work ahead of him.
