Riotact: Because of the decline in high street stores carrying physical copies of PC games, consoles provide the best chance of a high street presence as evidenced by the physical sales in POST 34, with PS4 dominating the physical sales.
Nobody knows (afaik) what the digital sales are either for PC or consoles via PSN or XBLIVe at this point.
From Post 34
PHYSICAL COPIES ONLY :
63 per cent of physical copies were sold on PlayStation 4,
32 per cent on Xbox One (unusual insofar as W2 was a 360 exclusive so it had history wit XBOX)
5 per cent on PC. Of course, the lion's share of PC sales will be digital (Chart-Track's data does not include download sales).
I get that, but given that PC sales overall are not in decline, quite the opposite in fact, I fail to see how less physical copies sold has any bearing on the matter at all. Only the total number of copies sold (physical + digital) on a given platform is relevant to the equation.Nobody knows (afaik) what the digital sales are either for PC or consoles via PSN or XBLIVe at this point.
