You kept saying this wouldn't happen. You kept saving people loved owning physical copies of games. You said all this 1 decade ago, about how less than 20% of people bought digital.Now 85% of game sales were digital, with the number rising every month.You lied.You'll own nothing and be happy.
>>738589880How much of that are microtransactions?
>>7385899510%, according to the chart.
>>738589880>release ps5>it's like $1000>no games>digital edition $600 or whatever>people buy digital-only edition>buy nogames on digital only
Nah. I said swapping discs was too much of a disincentive. Games need to be straight in. More arcade than arcade. Select title and immediately doing things, in the action.Also ban japan.
>>738589880100% of my currently owned 400 games are digital. "You will own nothing and be happy" is such a reddit retard statement and I'm tired of seeing it because it's not reality. Who's going to take my games? Only I have access to them, no one else.
The console split between digital/disc-drive is almost 50/50first party games especially still have a strong physical release, see Astrobot to name onelet's be real, by the time physical will be phased out completely this will be the least of your problems
>>738589880I usually think a moron obsessed with their collection of 600 TurboGrafx-16 games is talking when they say all game purchases must be physical. The more reasonable middle ground is saying physical is a nice option because it gives you a physical thing you can hold in your hands that the game is on. People are still absurdly demanding about that when most of the rest of the world just doesn't care.
>>738589880>>738590021Its PS5 and PS4 since Sony is combining them.
>>738589880I have yet to buy a single digital game on my PS5. I only want physical unless there is no choice.
>>738590242Good goy
>Buy PS5 game>Put disc in>40gb day 1 patch This is happened at least 12 times
>>738589951The actual question is how much were f2p games being counted as sales.
>>738589880>softwareThey're including DLC and MTXs, though no games does help with that.
>>738589880digital copies have far deeper sales than physical ever could, plus all the digital exclusive games that don't have physcial copies. Though I'd assume a lot of idiots do get day 1 digital when they could also go to a store to buy a copy.lot of other factors too, the jump from FY18 to FY20 is stark.
>>738589880But that's just the number of sales. They flood their store with shovelware.
>>738589880>full game software downloadThey're including free to play games.
>>738592785This, there's no point to physical unless it's a re-release that contains all the patches and DLC.>Get physical game>long ass install time>doesn't even work>connect it to the internet so you have to download 10gb of updates>if you want the complete game you have to buy DLC digitally anyway
