The vast majority of sales of Witcher 3 on PC was digital. Almost 45% of the the game totals sales in 3 years have been on PC. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why for this one game that digital was more than retail given the fact it sold almost 50% of its entire sales on PC. That in no way reflects the digital adoption rate on consoles...yes digital is increasing but overall it's still between 20 to 25 percent of total sales per game compared to physical.

You spent 95% of your time in this thread displaying your how clueless you are about consumer facing businesses and services for other businesses.... by conflating the two. the other 5% was you deflecting to xcloud and fabricated me begging for Xbox1 games... Yuck!! then you finally owned yourself by arguing against something you brought up. Now that you have failed you resort to non posts like the one above... marvelous

The part I highlighted speaks to the point that YOU ARE MISSING. Those cloud services are for other businesses... AKA corporations like Sony, Netflix, Hulu etc are their customers. Blocking Sony would be bad for business as other corporations wouldn't want to do business with you in fear you would block them one day. If those cloud providers have no customers (other corporations)... they would be pushed out the cloud services business. That's how business work... not every division of a business is consumer facing.

You are clueless to how businesses work it seems. All these "ifs, but they could if they wanted".... it's not smart business for them to do it.. that's why they haven't ventured in it. I guess the hardware components in Azure that MS is dependent on other businesses for means that "if no one does business with them they would die"

Sony could.. but it won't be smart business. It would take years to build up that infrastructure. Same with MS... they could start making CPUs, GPUs, Storage, power supplies, mother boards, RAM modules, IO devices etc.... but it would take years to catch up to the industry leaders in those fields, investing billions to lose billions is not smart business bro....... so instead they depend on other businesses to provide these components for them.

No they can't develop it from the ground up with their own components because they do not have the factories, engineers, divisions, patents or market share in those fields. They would take a huge loss if they did..... spend billions to lose billions... lol hence why businesses carefully decide which markets they create new ventures in. Instead of MS building the components themselves... they use other well established businesses to provide the components for them. That's how business works. Sony choosing Azure simply means they got a better deal than wha
