lynux3 2,107 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah ok, still digital only is the future. Look at the percentage drop of physical. Its over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 732 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 So he's counting subscriptions, microtransactions, etc etc? I mean, makes sense. Will suck when physical finally does go away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 732 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,730 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) 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. Edited April 10 by Playstation Tablet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
