You guys know that LBP Vita sales is messed, right? I mean, there is not a week 1 in US for the gmae.
So, in other words, nothing has changed?

I had no idea Vita was doing this bad. I guess we'll have to wait for homebrew to kick up for Vita sales to increase.

No Vita game besides Uncharted passed the million mark. No wonder AAA games don't get released for it
I believe there are a lot higher percentage of digital purchases on Vita than on other consoles. Just a feeling.
True, it probably is almost a third of the sales in my opinion. However, if the combined sales of your ten best selling games don't reach the sales of even one of the 4 best-selling games of the competition, you know the system is in trouble.
I've heard there's a pretty insane percentage, actually, like something close to half of all Vita games sold are digital or something like that.
I remember it was 48 percent of all Vita games are bought on the Sony store. That said you cannot just add 48 percent to every Vita game's sales.
OW!
This article is pointless and full of flaws due to so many errors in VGC tracking. Let's just mention the FF X/X-2 HD - VGC isn't including all versions of the game. You could buy both games in one box or single games, VGC is only tracking the bundle. The game sold around 100k copies more in reality.
