I assume PS4 is doing this too? NPD and sales trackers are gonna look bad compared to last gen if they don't start counting digital somehow.


I brought this up last night and got chewed out for it.  The future of this site is dependent on it's accuracy so hopefully they figure out a way to track it if possible.

I don't think this site needs to worry tbh, they're estimates rather than solid market data so they can be off. NPD are the ones that need to sort it out as they have paying subscribers and their job is to be very accurate.

True true.  I wonder if it is even possible for them to track digital somehow.  




       

Hmmm. I'd rather get physical copies, some games though I'll buy digital.

Yeah, PS3 is kind of already like that not all titles but a good amount are day one digital.

Old news I believe, but I suppose a reminder is welcome. I'm looking forward to getting digital titles on Xbox One.



All digi for me.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

They announced a while ago that they're working with five or six leading digital distributors to find a way to track game sales.  I would assume those would include Valve, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, EA, and maybe Apple.  Could get some decent estimates if those guys give them access to a small amount of data.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Tag, courtesy of fkusumot: "Why do most of the PS3 fanboys have avatars that looks totally pissed?"
"Ok, girl's trapped in the elevator, and the power's off.  I swear, if a zombie comes around the next corner..."

I would not have expected otherwise.
But will they be cheaper then retail now physical copies can again be traded without restrictions?
Will there be a pre download option like Steam?



Never will I buy a physical copy for X1, that is a certain :).
