Sony is in second place with 32 percent of physical video game sales sold in the USA with Xbox in third, but they tend to play games on the Game Pass service.
US: 63% of new physical games sold this year have been for Nintendo platforms
Sony: we need to make that 0% of physical sales for PlayStation.
For some reason, I can’t like your comment. I am trying too, but something about the wordpress system seems to be broken.
But 10/10 comment, that’s so funny.
I stopped buying all Sony products.
I won’t even watch their movies anymore.
Fuck ’em.
Nintendo is all that remains for console gaming.
About 10 years ago, I got to the point where I thought, why would I spend another 5k on Blu-rays and loads of space if I can even find every movie i’m looking for cause allot itsnt even available , plus having to replace all my DVDs because they’re old and might break down at some point? Blu-ray looks way better anyway, while I probably wouldn’t even watch 90% of it for many years because you simply don’t have the time when you can just stream stuff.
Same with music. Everything is on YouTube. Sure, the quality is worse, but do you really notice the difference when listening for hours?
As for games, I have a lot of digital games since the PS3 because it’s simply way cheaper with PS Store deals over all those years. If you wait long enough, you can buy the absolute top titles for 5–20 bucks. Paying 30 for GTA 5 or Red Dead Redemption is really the exception. If I can buy a game physically for the same price, I’ll usually get it, but even then it depends on the game. I buy all my RPGs physically, for example, or Zelda, Mario, Pokémon, etc. It’s cool to have a box like in the old days.
But out of the 40 games you buy each generation, especially with the big libraries of high-end titles each PlayStation generation has, do you really need all of them in a box, or just the stuff that’s special to you?
They were once talking about AI before it even existed and said AI wouldn’t eat a burger or smoke a cigarette if it knew it was bad for you, but humans do. That changed my perspective. Why would I spend loads of money and use loads of space if you can have it digitally and usually way cheaper? A robot would pick the latter choice.
It’s kinda sad if physical media disappears completely, but then again, most cool stores are already gone because of the internet. for me , it’s more about going to stores and looking for deals than the box itself and the whole atmosphere there. Although there is a lot of nostalgia with SNES boxes, for example, physical games had already lost some of their magic for me starting with the PS1 and GameCube. The old boxes and artwork were way cooler; the slick DVD-like boxes just look boring on a shelf and the art isn’t the same as the 80s and 90s.
But this is just my personal view on it. Plus this was obviously going to come , also if you see the sales numbers of physical vs Digital its a declining market for the past 10 years.
Nintendo continues to dominate the U.S. physical game market, according to new Circana data. Games sold on Nintendo platforms accounted for an impressive 63% of all physical video game sales, putting the company well ahead of Sony at 32%. Xbox follows in third place, although its position is harder to compare directly because many Xbox players rely on Game Pass instead of buying games individually. The numbers highlight how strongly Nintendo’s audience still values owning physical copies, even as digital gaming continues to grow across the industry.

Sony and Microsoft doesn’t even have games stocked in stores, Sony didn’t include a disc drive on purpose and made it hard to come by to push digital, games aren’t fully on disc on purpose to push digital. They can fit the games on discs and physical media, don’t let them all bs you.
