What an absolutely meaningless stat relative to how he came up with it.  

 

"Across console, portable, PC, cloud, non-console VR, subscription and mobile." I mean, this is just stupid... and then he goes on to try and sell a subscription for the company he works for... might as well throw NPD subscriptions in there to skew the number even more.

Yeah ok, still digital only is the future. Look at the percentage drop of physical. Its over.

So he's counting subscriptions, microtransactions, etc etc? I mean, makes sense.

 

Will suck when physical finally does go away.

That’s great. I don’t care. The way in which he came up with that statistic is still beyond stupid. I think he is just trolling people at this point.

[Casual 732]

Yeah I mean it just makes way more sense to compare Digital vs. Physical sales for things that offer both. You'll obviously never buy a microtransaction or a subscription physically. Everyone knows that a higher percentage of overall $$ is being spent on those YoY. So tell me, of games that are available physically and digitally, percentage splits. Probably varies a lot by console too, I'm sure Nintendo has a much higher % of physical than Sony, and Sony much higher than MS.

You’ll have to subscribe to get that data as Mat said.

It's amazing how quickly they try to discredit someone when they don't go along with their narratives

So we are comparing physical games sales to say Fortnite Vbucks sales. How the Fuck does that make ANY sense. Or candy crush and genshin impact DLC sales.

Because they are all sales  only one thing left is physical and it's OLD. It's done for, soon.
