This is a joke no matter which metric you use physical sales still account for close to half of the overall sales. People mix digital income with digital sales a lot of these companies are generating a lot of digital income through microtransaction and selling dlc
If digital sales were all that great and by grade I mean closer to 75 to 80%, I am sure Sony would not have delayed the last of us part 2 because they could not launch physical and digital at the same time. Predictions like these have been made before but if you look at it physical sales are not going anywhere
this is the same sort of prediction where somebody will come out and say this is the last generation of consoles
Even if the physical sales only account for 25 to 30% down the road that is still 25 to 30% more revenue that the publishers will not give up on just so they can go digital. and right now there’s no benefit for going digital you pay the same price If digital was 10 to $15 cheaper it would be one thing but it’s still the same price
