Now I see why the Sony Stans getting quiet...

[The Devil's Advocate]

You should stop hanging around a bunch of broke ass nikkaz
Steam has sales, people buy there.
PS3/360 have so many sales now its crazy. I was just peeping how Bioshock 1 = $5, Bioshock 2 = $5, Bioshock Infinite = $9.84.. I can have all 3 for under $20 right now (Digital versions) cuz I skipped on Bioshock

Xbox One right now has Thief (which plays better than PS4 version) Tomb raider and COD:Hardened edition for $30 digital copies
This is how most games will be bought THIS GEN. You can think caveman ish if you want bruh
But the cheaper way to buy is digital. So it'll win out...

The breakdown: In the United States, video game sales (not including hardware like consoles or accessories) totaled $14.8 billion. Of that total, $5.92 billion came from digitally distributed content, including games, DLC, in-app/game purchases and other content. That is a 16 percent jump over digital totals from 2011. Physical game sales, meanwhile, came to $8.88 billion total, a drop of 21-percent from the previous year. Part of that is due to the lack of software released last year. Physical sales are declining faster than digital sales are increasing, thus the 9-percent drop in total video game revenue in 2012.

in other words... just like DD only systems.... that shyt ain't gonna happen for a long fukking time. notice they even counted DLC, in game buys, and "other" as digital sales... while only counting retail sales as the complete game

and you still about 9 BILLION DOLLARS short

i been saying that since the other board... until you get the masses to follow, it won't happen... shyt itunes been out for how long... physical cd sales are still kicking digital sales asses

and these are just american numbers... imagine how lopsided it is in other, shyttier countries

So you are showing how Digital sales are increasing year after year, but you believe it won't catch up anytime soon
You should do more than one year worth of research. You should see how fast the jump from last year is compared to the jump from 2yrs ago. You on your Dr.Gero miscalculating steez, Goku aka Digital Downloads is much greater in strength than you realize. Videogames being sold at a huge discount wasn't the norm until a year ago pretty much (on consoles) and that has only grown

Tomb Raider, Thief, COD Ghost:Hardened digital edition is $30 online on XB1 right now. When has games been discounted that much, that fast in the history of console sales?
You think numbers are not about to explode for digital? Keep telling yourself it'll slowly come around
Only think slowly coming around is YOU

Ok so when do you think it'll happen?

I'm not thinking 20 years. I'm thinking about 5-10. Which would be the next gen.. Ps5 & Xbox 2. Even then you see the fiasco xbox just had. You see how unwilling people are to change.

I said the same thing 2-3 years ago homie. When we were on the other board. And there was good old team dd. and THIS gen was gonna be all dd. and the stats were posted. And digital would take over by now. IT HASNT HAPPENED. It isn't 1-2 years close.

People still buy DVDs more. Buy CDs more. Buy video games more. In america. In every other country.

Lots of y'all love to ignore other countries. Companies don't. They make money over there. And as proven time and time and time again. Physical media is still on top in America and worldwide.

fukk is there to argue about when the technology companies in all fields keep putting out products to support that

You are totally clueless on how the masses gravitate to things.
Around the early 2000's people thought music CD's would not be extinct as fast as they ultimately ended up
2yrs ago, we would have heated debates on Digital downloads and if its possible with bandwidth. Most felt the answer was no
I said they was crazy. The REAL argument angle was "we can't download games, it would take too long, we'd have bandwidth issues"
Well sir, nobody is afriad of downloading a full game. NOBODY. Some bytch, some say "Uh, how long will it take"
But nobody is doubting the option is here TODAY! So you think it'll take another 10yrs for that to be the norm?
Bruh, if you seen the deals on XBL they have every week? People are MORE than comfortable downloading.
ON PC, there are more gamers than on consoles. They all go digital, Steam, Origin. That is the future
XBOX LIVE was building its own version of STEAM, still is. They want to take it a step further. Its going down NOW
I was tempted to buy Tomb Raider since its only $30 now.. 2months after release. Thief hasnt even been out a month, its now half price online via XBL
Instant switching is important to some of us (ME) I would love to be watching TV, then go "Xbox, go to Titanfall" and the game starts instantly
I don't want to get up, find the game, put it in, wait for it to load. I want instant access. I have that on my xbox 360 with close to 100gms on the HDD
I'm spoiled, and I don't want to go back. I have tasted the future already, and it is delicious. I can assure you that your calculations are way off

You sir. Are an idiot. I seriously stopped reading after you said 2 years ago CDs went extinct

This is from billboard. In 2014

While it may seem counterintuitive to some, digital albums have yet to consistently surpass physical album sales. Up until now, only when track equivalent album (TEA) sales, whereby 10 songs equal one album, are factored in do digital album sales surpass CDs. Digital albums plus TEA first surpassed physical albums in 2011 when physical albums accounted for 49.7% of albums while digital albums plus TEA accounted for 50.3%. The market has yet to have a year where digital album sales without TEA surpassed those of CDs, but 2014 might be the year where it finally happens.

So in 2014. Without fudging the numbers and adding in bullshyt sales. Same as digital sales for video games add in DLC. And they STILL ain't selling more digital than physical.

You can kindly shut up now!!!!

Dumbass... Moron.... Mr.Thought you had a point
We was talking about Digital Downloads and how it will be more popular before this gen is over with
Thats what it is, STILL. Thats what is happening. If you didn't read everything I wrote, then you cannot speak on what I said you dumb son of a bytch
Now, what you are forgetting to add to your musical equation is how many ppl illegally downloaded music during that span
You think those numbers make digital downloads a trillion times more popular
In the context of what we was originally talking about, it was how digital downloads are becoming more popular
It is. First it was CD's, now its movies. Plenty of ppl illegally download movies these days
Games naturally become next on that digital download list. The "incentive" of going all digital?
If they let the games go cheaper, they make ppl less likely to steal. If all games were $20, I'd have every game I want day 1
Its business, you just don't seem to get it. But you will...
