Do SVG sell better than PNG?

I only upload SVG and Adobe makes them available as transparent background PNG as well - but the sale breakdown never mentions which was sold (essentially is the same file) I've some huge sized SVG that would not work unless I made them into PNG, I was just curious if I should just make them into PNG and put them up on sale.

SVG files are vector files. Vector files are offered as vector, PNG (if there is no background!) and JPEG.

PNG files are only offered as PNG and JPEG. 

You will have potentially more buyers for SVG files than PNG files.

 

Buyers for vector files buy the vector file, regardless of which format they download.

 

In addition: Vector files can be scaled to any size. That is a huge advantage on PNG files.

You need to explain this. If you can create them as SVG files, they work as SVG files.

It seems SVGs sell better for me, likely because my primary genre is vectors.
