So GTA 5>MGS 5. That's kind of sad when you think about it :-/.

Why?
EDIT: Oh.
Guess my gaming days are coming to an end in a few years.
Surprised GW2 is actually on the list but then again the expansion is due out tomorrow so that might explain it creeping up the list.
I don't get the whole Physical vs digital little war going on here since I transitioned to digital some eyars back and I've been happy with it since, especially since HDD/SSD's are getting a lot cheaper these days and the general load times shrinking in the process when using an SSD.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
Wow, they are still making money off Star Wars: The Old Republic... I thought that game bombed.

Digital is something a lot of people won't get until they get it.
I remember when I originally bought my 3DS. I got it the week Luigi's Mansion 2 came out. I wanted it for a promotion, but they told me they were out of physical copies for people who didn't preorder. The guy offered me a digital download code instead. I was like "ew," no. I didn't understand anything about it back then. Fast foward, and I've sold all my current-gen physical games that aren't Pokemon and replaced them with digital copies. Best thing I've done all gen.

I can sorta relate to that, originally I was all like "we don't own our games though" but over time realized we still don't anyway because the disk itself is part of the license agreement/trade in the end, except with digital you can mess with the code and with a CD-DVD you can also just extract said code and it ends up performing the same in the end anyway.
It took me a while but I got over that little bump, I;ve actually found digital games are far more cheaper for me than physical, there is still the odd 1-3 games that can be cheaper physically on PC and I still have my CD reader built into my new rig but I hardly use it unless I'm watching a DVD, that and I really have been put off physical media getting scratched and not being able to read the disks while with my digital backlog It's all there and will last forever.
For 3DS though I'm kinda indifferent, I do set out to buy physical copies but I;m also going to upgrade to a enw memory card soon which means more VC titles that will be all digital (since they all are anyway), for Pokemon though I really do have to get a physical copy of that and I have actually noticed that they never slapped Pokemon Soul silver or heart gold or any of the older ones onto their VC list and there is no way I;m buying a 2nd hand physical PKMN game, I;d rather buy digital.

Not too surprising, as digital is more convenient and in most cases, cheaper than buying physical.. but I still prefer physical :p

it says earnings not copies so i dont understand why people make a big deal about it. We all know how shady digital games are offered at full price + the entire games profit margin/earning goes all to the publishers and console manufacture. And lets not forget about the DLC and microtransactions
