I'm beginning to think its just a cheap cop out to excuse how poorly a lot of XB1 game sales has been so far. They know we can't track digital sales, so they just say a lot of sales are digital. Where as there isn't a single thread of evidence that proves XB1 gamers prefer digital to physical purchases. And thr only mention of digital sales comparison was made by EA and it had oth the PS4 and XB1 both under 25-30% digital purchases in comparison to the physical purchases. I think it was like 28% to XB1 and 26% to PS4 or something like that. But if you read what a lot of XB gamers say it sounds more like digital sales are even higher than physical sales. |
The narrative basically started when a GAF user named 'leeh' made a ridiculous statement that Halo 5's sales were 90% digital/10% physical in response to the game's much lower than expected sales. He based the ratio off of a personal anecdote where out of him and 9 of his friends, only one bought the physical version of Halo 5.
