| Shadow1980 said: Up 14% YoY just for consoles, huh? I'd like to see this broken down further for context as that number actually doesn't tell us much in and of itself. How much was for DLC (e.g., expansions like Destiny's The Taken King)? How much was for bundles (e.g., Halo 5, Gears, NDC, Destiny)? How much was for indies? Also, a 14% increase YoY still isn't huge in the face of how big physical still is in the console market. Here's what the split was last year in the U.S.:
Assuming the physical market was flat YoY and was constantly the same all year and the growth was the same in the U.S. as it was worldwide, then a 14% YoY boost for total digital (not including DLC and indies) would bring digital's share of the pie from 12 to about 13.5%. Yeah. Truly a monumentally huge increase. Physical is surely doomed. |
How dare you crush hopes and dreams with logic and numbers?
