Digital on consoles is still expensive because companies want you to buy the store copy first because its cost them more to write on disc and supply the stores with. The moment we remove physical copies from store shelves digital will take off and if you have ever used Steam before you will see the benefits of there sales they offer every week. |
Yeah, that's what Ubisoft said. Too bad that plenty of PC games have both the digital and physical version, with the digital one being usually cheaper (or so at least I hear from the PC gamers). And no, the cut taken by Sony/MS/Nintendo isn't relevant, since it applies to both.
Regarding digital taking off.. Not with my internet connection. The digital divide is still big around the world. Still, with those prices, I'd stick with physical. In Europe we get a good saving in many physical pre-orders, let alone once the games are a bit old. My opinion is that digital prices (on consoles) are kept artifically high because there is a lot to milk in there. Any other explanation from publishers is just bollocks.
