1- well this is NPD, so the us market we're talking about
Madden is an kind of "us market" only game. that's the reason, for the high digital attachrate. a game like fifa has a way lower digital attachrate

 
2- the sources are ea conference call and the 3- leaked 30% frist week dd attachrate for halo 5

 

4- i just found it weird you said years.  one year yes, but it won't even take 3 years to be over 50% full digital game download for games like uncharted or tombraider.
5- retail new game sales today are pretty much just 3 things anymore.
Huge longlasting games like GTA, Minecraft etc. Initial sales for the hottest new big release. Giftgiving in the holiday.

This is all part of the reason, why today is great news. You will be amased to see games like Battlefield 4 back in NPD top 10 due to digital backlog sales

Before we can go further I need you do address some of the stuff you just said because I've been in debates like this before where stuff doesn't get addressed properly and before you know it the argument shifts, goal posts are move and you end up no where. 

1- What the hell are you talking about?

2- Source please, you know, a link. 

3- Source, and how do you get 50% from 30%

4- I said within the next few year. That means within the next 2 years. A.k.a less than 2 years. Not 3 years like you are trying to claim.

5- Relevance of this statement

1. NPD tracks digital sales in the us. digital sales in the us are higher than digital sales in europe, japan or the rest of the world
2. my other posts
3. the source was ZhugeEx. don't know his original source, but he is trustwothy. digital attachrate just increases over time. you get form 30% launch to 50% pretty quickly. Madden 16 was also only 3X% launch and end of Q1CY2016 EA reported 50% - backlog sales are digital these day (you want a source - read ea investor call transscrips)
4. several years is not less than 2 years in the eyes of some1 no being you. several are several years.  2 minimum or more. if you meant less than 2 year, just say less than 2 years and people don't claim 3 years as several years - lol
5. relevance of your statement? just a point i made.

Industry now is above 30%. I think it's reaching 32%.

And those few sentences right there are the most important. Why did you even disagree with my first comment? Industry is at 32%. Not select titles you choose, the industry. 

  correct. even the industy as a whole is at over 30% for worldwide DD at the start of 2016
and you said 50% within several (aka 2 according to you) years. i just disagree there for the US as a region
