I thought VG Chartz was supposed to be a sales site- can't see this reported anywhere.

Anyway, here's the link to the story on Rock, Paper, Shotgun. I trust you'll all visit there with your ad blockers off.

I can't believe PC gaming only increased 3% last year. I mean, DD stores are increasing like 50-100% every year, and China's Online Games revenue grew up 30%. The I'm damn sure that revenue from MMOs wouldn't decrease.

There's something seriously wrong with the report.

Because apparently the growth in DD is only offsetting the drop in hard copy sales.
