DVD's and Blu-Ray's FAR outsell digital purchases as well.

Really, the only reason people tend to snicker about physical media being gone is because of marketing. And WHY do they market digital purchases as the here and now sort of thing? Because they want to kill second hand sales... period. 

Actually.. In the first half of 2014 Total Digital spending ...

"Spending" means something entirely different than "full digital downloads of movies outnumber physical movie purchases." The words "revenue" and "spending" have been used by companies like EA to trick consumers into thinking digital is doing better than it is. They hardly EVER mention a direct comparison between full digital game purchases and physical game purchases because if they did, it makes digital look bad. So what do they do? In the case of movies, they add rentals and other things into their report. For games? They add DLC. For music? They add in the purchasing of single songs. It's all just a way to spin the numbers and make digital seem like it's in the majority... when it's not even close. Not when you compare apples to apples.
