Lol no. I'm not even sure if you're serious or damage control if DriveClub flops, and it has a good chance to.

From the Ubisoft financial report we know that their normal retail games are averaging around 10% digital on PS4 and Xbone iirc.
With all the incentives DriveClub, I can see it doing maybe 25-30% digital.

Its not against my personal interests if Driveclub flops, so why would I damage control?

Anyways, if you didn't notice, with Driveclub Sony has given two HUGE incentives for people to buy it digitally and they will certainly skew the ratio in digital's favour by much more than 15-20% above the norm. 90% is quite likely for all the incentives Sony is giving.

Well people on this site (and many others) because they are to put it lightly and spare me a ban, very devoted fans, just check some of the threads that pop here weekly. So if you didn't then my apologies.

And honestly I noticed 1 incentive and wouldn't call it particularly huge. A price advantage, a good one admittedly, for less than 50% of the userbase last time we knów iirc, that can of course vary, which can be easily negated if someone likes to trade or exchange their games, and then you have your regular retail vs digital debatę. So no 90% is not likely, it's crazy and won't happen. In like a most optimistic scenario I could see it doing 50% and that won't happen either. We'll most likely never know what the ratio will be.

The price advantage is one HUGE incentive. Many people would go for the cheaper option when given the chance. There is another reason too. Its simply more convenient to digitally upgrade from the PS Plus version.

Besides why would anyone without PS Plus buy the game? Driveclub is heavily multiplayer oriented, so it makes sense that mostly PS Plus subscribers would buy digitally. In any case the number of PS Plus subscribers itself will likely balloon after Driveclub launches.
