PlayStation platforms made the game the most money, but Steam is still the biggest market - and 3DS has the longest tail.
VGChartz;s Adam Cartwright: "For a console that can only really be seen as a commercial failure, the PlayStation Vita did extremely well for itself in terms of software – more than 1500 games are available for it and that figure is surprisingly still growing each week, despite the hardware being discontinued earlier this year and despite the rhetoric suggesting it’s only a good machine for indie 2D platformers and niche Japanese RPGs.
Unfortunately certain genres didn't receive any representation at all and act as glaring holes in the Vita’s software library. Some of these just aren’t particularly popular on consoles in general, such as city builders, which have been niche for years. It’s these genres I’m aiming to look at in this article – what they are (including examples of some modern entries in the genres), why they weren't represented on the Vita, as well as some suggestions about what alternatives are available to scratch that itch."
Physical vs. digital is always a tough choice. Although the eShop has a variety of digital games, there is still a high demand for physical editions of games. That is especially the case when it…
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The official end of the WiiWare service may not be until early 2019 but we wanted to give everybody as much of a chance as possible to remember all of the great games that Nintendo’s first every download service brought us. Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
Quite interesting.
-Ps4 made the most revenue (Which explains its very healthy indie market)
-PC pushed the most units (no doubt thanks to Steam sales)
-3DS had the most consistency because the price was most consistent (it's interesting how Nintendo's consistency seems to keep sales steady)
-The Wii version tanked (I doubt that a lot of people are still playing new indies on the Wii anyway)
-GOG and Vita did okay (Not a lot of competition on the vita, so a good game can thrive there)
-less than surprisingly, some harsh words for Microsoft's platforms (but still made plenty of profit)

Wow, including PS+, PS pushed the most units.
No,the game didn't exactly do well on GOG, a distant third after Steam and direct purchase, and tied with Humble Store.
I disagree with VBlank's decision to push through with the Wii version with the Wii U eShop already up. He was setting himself up for failure any way you look at it. For what it's worth, there's no difference between the Wii version and what everyone else got, and it plays fine, even on just the Wiimote.
And not PS4, PlayStation. VBlank put together PS3, Vita and PS4 sales together, so we don't know how much of that chunk were buys from years ago on PS3.
