This and the fact youre dependent on sales (view days) to get digital games cheaper makes digital not competetive to me.

Of course! I got Mortal Kombat X on PS4 digitally because it cost as much as it did in retail because it was 'on sale'.

FOr most games yeah, the only things I must buy physical are franchise I know I love; Zelda, Final Fantasy etc

Yes but I probably wouldn't be 100% digital because I'd be helping maybe millions lose their jobs in manufacturing and retail. You could argue it's for progress, I'm not sure.

And I would still not be able to buy as many games because of not being able to resell and put that money into new games.

If I could keep the games forever (even SAVE DATA/PROGRESS) even on newer consoles later on then I would consider buying retail games digitally.

For new releases, Steam isn't much better. At least in Europe.

Witcher 3 (German Steam site): 60€
Witcher 3 (Amazon.de retail): 45€ (actually in Germany you have to pay 5€ extra for 18+ games when shopping at Amazon, so 50€)
Witcher 3 (Amazon.de code): 45€

Project CARS (German Steam site): 50€
Project CARS (Amazon.de retail): 43,40€
Project CARS (Amazon.de Steam Code): 30€ (looool)

etc.

It wouldn't change the way i see digital purchases.

I want boxed games mainly because i can resell the games i no longer want to buy new games; I also like having boxed games.

If i could resell digital games (something like owning the license to play a game and being able to sell it to someone) then things would be different.

Yup. I would be all digital by now. I got tons of physical games I don't touch but swear I will resell one day. Instead I don't and they just add to the clutter. The only thing that makes me leery of digital is if by some weird accident I get banned and I can't use my digital purchases anymore.

I only have digital titles for my PS4 right now (I kinda wonder if my BD drive is even functional - haven't been able to test it).

I buy digital if there's no other way, and have considered it for online-only titles I'll be jumping & out of. But otherwise physical is where it's at, nothing like having a physical copy in hand, able to lend, trade & sell.
