Am I the only one who thinks Driveclub will be the new 1st motorsport which sold 3 million.
First PS racer check, insane looking graphics check.
If there are 100k preorders in US than Europe could've 150 or even 200k I see Japan doing 50k easily so 350-450k first week I am calling it 500-550k if you include digital, second week will be a digital seller week if the game is as good as I think it will be. Lifetime sales around 3 million perhaps even 4

If it looks so uninteresting to you why even try the PS Plus version? Besides the fact that your comment has no relation to the thread. Haters gonna hate.

How will 90% be digital if the number of PS+ members is like 50%? It also comes with a white PS4 retail I think. So no, I disagree.

^This. I think at most a quarter of Driveclub's sales will be digital. Personally, I'm getting the physical release. I wouldn't buy it digital unless it cost $10 at most, and even then if I liked it I would still pick up a physical copy.

You may prefer the physical version as do I but most gamers will see the much more cheaper digital version and opt to save their money.

Only if the full digital version is free for PS plus... btw, i will be getting retail version cause i wanna trade-in some of my PS3 games... 

Why wouldn't it happen if the game is discounted for PS Plus subscribers? Its low digital price can easily sway many people towards that version.

He never said it looked uninteresting to him, but if a part is free why not try it out and then move on being satisfied with just that? No purchase necessary.

His post is about Driveclub, sales and PS+, so yes it does have relation to the thread.

The PS Plus edition has very low amount of content so anyone who really likes the game and wants more content will have to purchase it. You can't be satisfied with just 10 cars and 11 tracks in a racing game if you like it.

People can be satisfied walking into a grocery store and sampling something on a cracker. Majority will like it and they move on, not buy more. Free is satisfying enough.



Its cheaper digitally in the UK, so i can imagine it will be a high percentage, but 80% is probably way to high

Not every region is getting a much better price for digital version, it isn't so cheap in my region that's why i'm getting the physical version due to i'm able to trade-in it in future...
