I don't know how VGChartz will adapt its tracking. By the end of this gen most game sales on the PS4/XBox One will be digital. It's a big blind spot for VGC right now. |
I dunno about the that, I just don't see this happening and I feel that the presence of digital downloads on consoles is highly overstated especially on forums like these. Most of the world and plenty of areas in america cringe at the thought of downloading 40 gig games to tiny hard drives.
I for one have no idea how long it will take for me to donwload the 20 gig Master Chief Collection content, probably over a full day. There will still be a strong presence of physical media at the end of this gen I beleive.

It doesn't matter whether you buy a disc or download, the entire game is still installed on the hard drive.
With the ability of pre-purchase, you can purchase ahead of time and have the game ready for you on the release date.
I have gone all digital with this gen because it is nice to just be able to jump into a game without switching discs.

While this is true there is no way i could possibly be deleting games and then redownloading them when I want to play them again. At least with the disc I can quickly reinstall. Im not saying digital downloads arent good, or that some people won't prefer them. Im just saying that its just not viable for a large large portion of people and that problem will still be present next gen.
