Many among them preorder to get the latest gadget or technology, not because they already have any specific games in mind. Additionally, the PSV has no internal memory as far as I know, so memory cards are pretty much needed for everything you plan to do with the device. The sole exception would be if you bought only games that save to the game cards. Also, if Japanese gamers were really welcoming digital distribution, then the PSP Go would have been a success. I am quite sure that physical copies will account for the majority of software sales for at least another few years, so VGC, Famitsu and Media Create numbers will continue to not only be relevant, but significant. |
Yeah i get what you saying, i wasnt arguing against that or anything. The article just made me think about digital distribution and how it is becomming more prominent. And it is becomming more prominent.
I look at the PSV and how Sony is positioning it as a divice which can be supported fully digitally. Theres no need to be buying physical copies of games on the PSV. COnsidering also that the prices are now substantially cheaper, sony is clearly pushing for it. So in comparison to say the psp i think their will definately be more software sold digitally than before.
In my opinion, i too think that digital distribution is a few years out, but each year it becomes more significant. I think its gonna be interesting to see how VGChartz deals with that. Im all for physical copies
