48% of Vita software sales are digital

MCV Staff 11th February 2014 Business News

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

Speaking at a behind-closed-doors meeting in California, the platform holder revealed to IGN that digital games sales now account for 48 per cent of Vita’s total software sales.

We wonder what the ratio would be were Vita memory cards more affordable?

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.
