Forums - Gaming - What is going to happen to vgchartz as we focus more and more on digital content

Vgchartz main draw is that they can track sells correct?  Sure the forums are really nice as well but the main draw is still the numbers.  So what happens when we start to see more and more digital content?  We have recently learned that the Witcher series has sold 5m combined.  Now I know that we dont have the first witcher tracked but Im sure the 2nd is missing a lot of digital sales.  This also goes to games like Minecraft that has sold more than 15 million or even trials Evolution which has sold more than 1 million.  And I'm sure in the future we are going to see more and more digital content.  In fact I expect almost every retail title next gen to also have a digital titles as well giving you the option on what you want. Digital or physical.  So what will happen to vgchartz?

We also go digital.



We'll always have hardware sales?
