The digital ratio for full game software sales on PlayStation platforms reached 70% for the full year. Digital sales accounted for just 19% in FY2015.

Physical will disappear soon enough.

 

[PropellerEar]

I will buy physical over digital as long it's possible.

And Sony knows how popular AAA physical releases are.

 

[Johnic]

There till the end. Fuck digital.

But again, skewed data. A DLC is counted as a digital sale, even though there is no physical version available.

Same for digital only releases.

 

[Etifilio]

will buy physical until it's no longer here

Of course, their 1st party like 60 40 physical and 3rd party AAA like 40 60 physical.
It is huge numbers when you sell millions.
Sony and others would be idiots ignore it.

Remedy, how it is going? Did you even recoup the costs?

 

[rofif]

It’s all games and most don’t have physical release.
For Sony games, 60-70% is physical at launch

 

[Gamernyc78]

I will always go physical first.

You know what I see? Negligible digital growth after the pandemic. You got what you got but the rest don't wanna change.

By 2030 physical will dead for sure, maybe even before that.

 

[Nhomnhom]

Physical will disappear soon enough.

And so will PlayStation then, it's the biggest differentiating feature left.

Nobody has shot at beating Steam in a digital only market. Maybe Sony is right to just accept defeat after all, if you can't beat them, port your games to their platform and give them a 30% cut.

That doesn't mean publishers will continue to put out physical versions of games, but yeah there will still be first and second-hand copies of old games available on physical media.

Exactly, publishers are little by little not putting out physical. Even Hellblade 2 doesn't have a physical which is dumb.

Poor example. M$ are against physical. They want to control all masses to impose they anti competitive practices.
Their were barely selling like 5-10% of their games physically.
In Completely different situation are Playstation and Nintendo
