You have to be kidding me.
First of all , disk will soon be obsolete….. not the bluray movie disc getting smashed by streaming , and digital downloads. Let’s not forget the gaming industry with digital downloads killing the hard disk .

These guys press disk for a living , but now they’re experts in the game industry … Sony selling games worldwide 1.8 million but they say Xbox one is the problem…. In a way they’re responsible because, most ppl on the Xbox buy digital… Sony is the only one stuck in the stone age still pushing disk …

“Why do they not mention physical disc sales are in decline because of digital ?”
Such huge decline is clearly not due to an evolution of the customers habit.

“There is also the fact that if you buy digital on Xbox One you get the PC version for FREE on a lot of games”
On the Xbox website, only 15 games available are listed, this is very few.

This is what he expect or hope, such decline is clearly not due to an evolution of the customers habit.

Xbox outsold 1.8:1 in the US, 3:1 in Europe, -50% decline year-over-year Blu-ray discs shipped.
2017 is, until now, a bad year for Xbox

Unsurprising. And yet, Xgimps will continue to insist that their utterly meagre offerings are either enviable or acceptable.

In reply to Fweds. When NPD started including MS digital sales in May, guess what? Xbone games still weren't charting.

In reply to GMB. This is a video game website, not a court of law. Burden of proof. seriously lol. But I will admit, you're right that just saying $9billion without reference to measurement is not very useful. However, I come here for video games not for investment decisions. Edgar is a much better site for that lol.

Also, Why do they not mention physical disc sales are in decline because of digital ?

There is hardly any reason to buy physical on Xbox one when you can gameshare so easily, this also allows you to share EA Access etc.
Unless you have no Friends on Xbox there is no point in buying physical.

There is also the fact that if you buy digital on Xbox One you get the PC version for FREE on a lot of games

In reply to Learned Handgun. Why should I? He's the one making claims thus the burden of proof is on him.

In reply to GMB. If you're interested in financials, why not just pull up the FS on Edgar?
