They just want to be ahead of the curve.

In 2-3 years, retail based sales should be dwarfed by digital. And since there will be no selling, trading or sharing of games on digital any time soon, EA can relax and play the good guy now to reap the benefits later.

Not happening.

Maybe in 6-7 years.

That's what music studio and book publishers said.

 

Almost every PS3 title released in the last 12 month was day one digital day release...

What's going to happen next ( it already started with PS+) is old digital games will be discounted  online, affecting gamestop abilities to resell used copies of those games...( Gamestop sells used AC3 for 19$, a couple weeks ago  AC3 + all 3 DLC was 25$ on PSN)

Must be pretty hard already to sell used copies of all those games that have been part of the PS+ instant game collection....

 

By the way what is Gamestop marketshare on PC game sales compared to what it was 10 years ago ?
