Forums - Sales - Vita Gamers Buy More Games Than 3DS Gamers (on average)

(Tie Ratio)                                                                                              NA                 EU                    JP                    RoW                Global

22 PlayStation Vita (PSV) 4.57 3.25 3.30 4.17 3.67
23 Nintendo 3DS (3DS) 3.79 2.93 4.15 3.03 3.64

Not that it really means much. I do find it interesting though since the 3DS is supposed to have way more games than the Vita or at least more games that people want to buy. But, going by VGC's numbers it seems that may not entirely be the case.

BTW Obviously this is helped by Vita's God awful hardware sales in conjuntion with the Vita's user base consisting of largely hardcore gamers. So please don't get your panties in a bunch.

thats pretty surprising... Even though it's by 0.03...

I personally have 13 3DS games though, since it's my main gaming device....



The tie ratio gap between the two is probably quite large when you include digital sales (which seem to be rather high on the Vita). It's not particularly surprising though. The Vita has found quite a "hardcore" niche for itself, so naturally each of its owners buy more games. Doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things though.



I could have told you that.



Considering Vita's extremely low install base compared to the 3ds... Makes sense really

Pretty unfair comparison seeing how the Vita has way too many games.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I don't get it. So are those the sales of games from last month or...?



More 3DS models and special editions. Almost certainly a higher percentage of unique owners among Vita sales.

Psh. I have 27 3DS games (including eShop) and it's my secondary handheld.
