Borderlands 2 sold nearly 160k copies back in 2012, so BL3 is most likely between 70k-80k

Even being a big BL fan, ye, I bought that shit digitally. Don't give a fuck no more at physical copies. I'm here to play when the clock strikes midnight. Or when I teleport to New Zealand to magically play early.
I don't know if it's the same in other countries, but digital launch copies of PS4 games cost roughly 50% more than physical copies here. An all digital future would suck arse in Australia.Even being a big BL fan, ye, I bought that shit digitally. Don't give a fuck no more at physical copies.

Obviously I meant the overall sales man.Yes, I'm sure the delayed Steam release is affecting a retail boxed game numbers.
Anyone know if EGS actually supports installing from a disc?Is there even a disc in the physical edition or just an EGS download code?
No data caps in the UK, makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is people paying those ridiculous digital prices on Sony/Microsoft stores.

Uk market going down ? Last year was a record year for the UK.i assume this is both related to digital going up, and the UK market as a whole going down.
game sales in the UK have been going down this whole year, look how BL3 while being the best selling w1 game of the year, it still sold only less than 80k, in the past UK game market was selling a lot more.Uk market going down ? Last year was a record year for the UK.
Paying £10 extra to sacrifice your ability to sell the game when you're done with it will never make sense to me.A lot of people simply prefer the convenience over saving a few pounds
Is that really why you purchased digitally? To play like half a day early??
I know digital is a big thing in UK especially in the launch week, but isn't less than half a bit too much?
Gamepass is great for consumer but really struggling to see the economic benefits for the devs, that's a lot of money they miss out on.

Last I heard (maybe not UK specifically) is that digital sales account for almost 50% of sales these days. So even if that were true, BL3 still wouldn't have had quite as successful a launch as BL2 in the UK.
Digital accounted for over £3 billion of that number, representing 80.1 per cent of the market. Digital grew 12.5 per cent year-on-year, whereas physical sales dropped slightly by 2.8 per cent (as revealed yesterday). Overall, the games software market is up 9.1 per cent.
5 dollars that's shared with a ton of other games, gears included per single customer vs 60 from a single customer for the one game.They can't be losing out by that much, i imagine they crunched the numbers and thought it made more sense to take a lump sum upfront rather than hope the game performs well. Same with EGS, if the money is good, why not take it?
It's 80 percent in the UK,

The overall digital market is 80%, but the article also mentions that for Fifa 75% of sales were physical. That's to be expected given how expensive full price digital games are in the UK.It's 80 percent in the UK,

Yeah i'd be surprised if digital didnt make up the difference and then some.

You'd never trade in a game at the shop to get money off the next one? I mean, I get it if you hate money!I would never sell a game and I don't have space for hundreds game boxes in my house, so...
