Microsoft has the chance to do the funniest thing ever but will pussy out.

They are too dumb to do that.

Not even cringe. This is just sad.

Lol 90% of us already buy digital and we're not going back.

These fake numbers get higher all the time. Waiting for the 150% all digital.

Lol 90%

Ok. 85%

 

[Bojji]

Ok. 85%

85% of all games are also digital only.

Actually closer to 90-95% digital when all platforms are considered.

People can complain on X and NeoGAF all they want, but Sony listens to wallets..

It looks like a lot of talk with very little action. If 90% of you are buying digital, Sony is going to see this backlash as nothing more than fake outrage.

Ok. 85%

This has been proven to be BS. Every downloadable piece of content, even a free dlc or a purchase of vbucks, is counted against the total percentage. It's horse shit.

Also, single player games have typically a higher disc adoption rate but this generation Sony decided to light money on fire with abysmal failure GAAS dice rolls instead of developing any single player games. But, as an example, Astro Bot was reported to be about a 50/50 split.

You don't understand what I posted.

Numbers are designed to look that way. If they posted % for games that available on disc it would look different that that - apples to apples comparison.

Right now they are comparing all digital sales vs. limited numbers of games that even gets physical releases.

The BOOT LICKING for a decision like this is gross.

They're removing an option entirely that there's clearly a consumer (and retailer!) demand for to prioritize shareholders OVER customers. The shareholders want to remove an option to make more money per game sale from the customers. Do you guys fucking get it?! That's it! It's not rocket science.

And to add insult to injury.. they gaslight everybody with bullshit numbers to justify it. They count your 6.49 skin and vbucks purchase against a physical copy of spider man. They think you're retarded and apparently in many cases they're right.

It's really fucking gross and nobody in here should be that fucking stupid to be even shoulder shrugging let alone seal clapping over it. Get your heads out of your asses.

Ok. 85%

If you're going to respond to me, please don't do so with nonsense. In no way, shape or form does 85% of revenue from full-game sales being from digital purchases equate to "90% of PlayStation gamers are all-digital", which is what the person I quoted was implying. If you can't understand something as basic as that then there's no point in continuing this discussion.

What the hell are you talking about?

The word revenue isn't even mentioned the text I posted. It clearly says "85% of PlayStation game sales are digital." End of story. It says nothing about revenue. What the hell are you talking about? Pure cope.

Except that's wrong. Pure bs.

Even if it's in units sold, it doesn't change anything. Saying that 85% of software units sold are digital still in no way, shape or form equates to "90% of PlayStation gamers are all-digital". I don't understand how anybody could think that it does.

Ooh, some folks are reaching the bargaining stage of grief now. At least whoever made this is. Most of the stuff that isn't hilariously mocking Sony is still in either the denial or anger stages.
