This is just completely false.  I am guessing nearly half of Titanfall's sales were digital.  But, like you, I have no way of knowing for sure.  If 20% is digital, well thats a pretty large increase in total sales. 

Digital sales are expected to grow.  This is how PC started with its transition into digital.  I can goto my friend's place and download a digital game I bought to his XBO, install it, login and play.  Wala he now has access to the game on his machine  on his account even when I am not there and am not on that game.  Just too much of an advantage.  Another one is being able to play right at midnight, people don't want to wait in line for the new CoD.   Digital sales will continue to grow.

It is not even close to that unless you count PC lol

Digital sales at 15-20% is optimistics and most for online only games... it is less than 10% for others games.

People are dreaming digital sales is that high on consoles.

I honestly think you'd be suprised.  I have about 10 AAA games on my XBO and bought them digitally.  People I know who game on XBO only buy digitally.  I just see no reason to buy physical.  edit: oh i forgot, a lot of the cheap console gamers like to sell their games and hurt devs by doing so, I forgot. 

MS is still working on including a free digital title with a physical purchase as thats how the XBO was intended to work, but until then digital sales will continue to climb.

Congrats dc on beating a game on its 5th iteration. Great game, the lenghts people twist facts to support their bias.

You're literally doing what you are complaining about.  

"Congrats dc on being close to par with a game on its 5th iteration with about half the playerbase for the console it is on"  FTFY

That would be been a similar case then with PS4, but from Watch Dog's sales on each platform we know its not even close to 50%. It was at just above 10% on XB1 and just below 10% on PS4 (which btw had a bundle which is counted as retail sales) so digital sales aren't taht high.

If anything Driveclub would benefit more from digital sales due to the upgrade option from PS+ edition and it being a multiplayer-centric game.
