Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s Jim Ryan feels that the 3DS and Vita are “very different propositions”. At the same time, however, Ryan said that the two portables could see “some collision” as Vita starts to “skew to a younger demographic”.

Ryan told CVG:

“I think the gaming offerings [of 3DS and Vita] are so different right now that I think there’s plenty of space for both systems to live side by side quite happily. …I think over time that the PlayStation Vita will – like all consoles to – skew to a younger demographic, so there will be some collision there.”

Ryan also noted that Nintendo “is always a competitor”.

One important note: we’re not entirely sure if these figures account for all digital sales. Specifically, it isn’t clear if they include the sales of download cards available at retailers.

Update: Eurogamer published the following notice clarifying Sumo’s graphics comments:

“We’ve updated the headline of this article to better reflect the content of the story. Sega was referring to the visuals of Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed on Wii U compared to the visuals of the other versions, not the graphics capabilities of the Wii U itself. Sorry for the confusion this has caused.”

Sumo Digital is currently working on Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed for Wii U. Asked about the console’s graphics, the studio said they’re “on-par” with current-gen systems, adding that they could be “even better”.

Other news from Sumo concerns a special character inclusion in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. The Wii U edition as well as the portable version for 3DS will exclusively support Miis.
