well i guess my prediction is wrong then. unless he goes back on his word.

Has downloading of games come along faster than you think? Are we headed towards a point where there’s no need for retail copies of games?

Are you asking me if I’m going to say on the record that there’s no need for retail games? [Laughs.] Not until you can download a PS5 to the 3D printer in your kitchen. Retail is important, and not just for that aspect of the business. Retail is great because it’s a place where it introduces people to the concept of gaming, and where experts can talk them through it. Our partners at GameStop are the best in breed at making that happen. As far as growth of digital, it is growing faster than I had forecasted.
