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

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

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


I have 30.....physical...HA!

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


This. Mass difference between sample size would obscure results.

Lol Well I didn't include eShop games. In that case I have 22 3DS games (I am still beaten ) However I do have 13 DS games as well

This is the tip of the iceberg, probably. Half of all Vita software sales are digital, so the gap is likely to be much wider.

Smaller installed bases should have higher tie ratios, of course. Still, we know from what developers have said that the Vita market is very robust.



I would say the digital ratio on the Vita is much better than the 3DS so the ratio favours it even more.

However this is not that impressive IMO. The Vita has a smaller fanbase by a lot so it's going to consist of a much higher hardcore fanbase than the 3DS % wise.

ALso there have been more 3DS models so I'd imagine the % of 3DS owners who have bought more than one model is higher than Vita.

All in my opinion of course.

I have 63 retail Vita games (100+ including PSN) and 13 3DS games (14 including eShop). Maybe i'm part of the problem...
