Not really shocking.Sonys PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 consoles also dominated by making up 63 percent of digital sales on console.
Does that include PC?

Huh, accounting for both PS4/PS3 and Xbox One/360, Playstation's digital split is actually well above its market share, if I'm calculating it correctly.
I suppose that's down to there simply being much more digital content on PS4 than Xbox One?

FIFA is not in top 10 but Madden is? Is Europe presence in digital market really that small?
I just traded all 12 of my physical PS4 games in and converted to digital copies to join the rest of my luxurious digital library. I'm totally digital now this gen and forevermore.
You have zero guarantee your PS4 discs will work on the next console eitherunless there is some guarantee all this digital content will be playable on ps5 it's such a risk buying it.
How much of the GTAV revenue is copies of the game, and how much is online space bux?
We continue to see strong consumer engagement with Grand Theft Auto Online, which has both exceeded our expectations and has been the single largest contributor to digitally-delivered revenue in every quarter since its launch.

I believe this chart is America only
FtfyWho is superman?
Your PS3 discs don't work in the Ps4 either. Are you still buying discs despite the risk they won't work in the PS5?
Resident Evil did damn well it seems
Helps put the XB1 #1 for sales of physical GTAV in perspective.
SuperData says it is worldwide, but this data could have anomalies. I will ask about where FIFA is.
Every quarter Take-Two says GTA Online is the largest contributor to their digital revenue.

GTAO is very successful
Pretty much every game where MS claims they sold the most copies via NPD.
Maybe I'm wrong but a publisher should view digital sales as something much more positive than physical right, considering they get to cut out the middle man and all the shipping and packaging costs? Profits from one sale of a digital game and a physical game are not the same right?
yeah true but discs will always play on thier respective consoles. with digital content the store could go down and you could lose everything. so it's much mroe risky.

As expected, the greatest source of revenue for these games came from the PlayStation 4, with 43% of revenues. The PlayStation console family (PS3 and PS4) took 63% of the pie overall. Similarly, new generation consoles grossed 70% more than their predecessors, indicating the shift to digital in the new console cycle.
Yeah I would expect fifa to be up there but from what I gather isn't it hard to get digital numbers?
US accounts for half the revenue of top 10 digital console games
The US remains a particularly important market for the console platform, as entries even into large gaming markets like China have had little impact on the distribution of console game sales. New generation games like Dying Light had 81% of its digital sales coming from America.

Not true. I can turn off the PS4's wifi and play all my games offline.
Except those that require on line play, which won't work in the future no matter what format you bought it on.
I can't get patches in the future, but neither can you.
What's the risk again?
