I dont think this digital takeover will be happening this generation though. i think the way physical and digital is being handled right now will be the way it is handled through the remainder of the generation. |
Nintendo is reporting its total software revenue and its digital software revenue every quarter. The digital share of the software revenue has climbed very fast:
One quarter of the software revenue is already digital, the digital profit share will probably be even higher: no packaging, no shipping, no middleman's cut (wholesalers, retailers), no used games market.
And Nintendo is late to the party of digital content (full games, digital-only titles, DLCs)... Sony's and Microsoft's digital share of revenue and profits is probably even higher by now.
