48% of Vita software sales are digital

Sony has revealed that digital has very nearly overtaken physical in the Vita software market.

The company added that there are now nearly 1,000 games available for Vita when PSOne Classics and PSP titles are included.

Also confirmed is the fact that one in three Vita owners also own a PS4 and that 250,000 people to date have sampled the Remote Play feature. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, NBA 2K14, and Don’t Starve are the most streamed games to date.
