  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

I didn't say several but ok. You do realise that your claim of 1 year is within a "few" years right? Just saying! 

Anyway you're taking the interpretation of my statement way too serious and one i stand by for WW digital and US digital sales.

yeah i have to say sorry to you, man
i could have sworn i read several and not a few. sometimes your mind makes up what you think you read and it's not the actual written.

seems like we argree mostly on the timeframe.
sorry again

Dont worry. I'm sure vgchartz or Neogaf will have plenty of leakers to spare! :D

I'm repeating this point again because I think a lot of people are just ignoring me:

NPD communications chief David Riley commented, "This is a closed service, the detailed data is only available to participants so if you're a non-participating publisher you cannot see the data. The fact that we're allowed to go out with something for the media is a huge step in the right direction. I think as the service matures and as the publishers get used to it and we get more on board, we have more history, we do some benchmarking, we can provide that, but what we wanted to do for multiple reasons, including appeasing the publishers was to combine full-game physical with full-game digital, keep away from the DLC, keep PC games separate because that's a whole different ball of wax. It's not comprehensive, but it's the most comprehensive, we're the first in the market to track this and we're sort of very cautious."

None of the existing leakers are from the participating publishers (EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Capcom, Square Enix, Take-Two, Deep Silver or Warner Bros) except for John Harker, who rarely (if ever) posts.

I don't think we won't get any digital leaks at all.

that's my question. the most detailed information will be for participants only, yes
but what about the general subcriber to the npd sales report. not the "media" stuff.
any idea what will change? they will for sure include digital. but how much detail will payed subcriber and non paticipants get? they also said they want to make sure non paticipants could make reasonable forecasts with this data.

i hope you'll give us some information in 2 weeks about that suff. im really curious.
