I would think that digital sales on the Switch is fairly low considering the low onboard storage.
I don't think there's any good reasons to think it's "probably" close though. 40% is the average digital percentage on PS4 and Xbox, not Switch. You don't just assume Switch is the same just because we don't know how well AAA games are selling on it, just like we didn't assume digital adoption on PS4 and Xbox was the same as Steam when we didn't know any better. PS4 and XB1 digital adoption didn't just happen overnight, it took years to get where they are now. So you would assume it would take Nintendo years to catch up, instead of starting from the same point as their competitors, who have put FAR more time and effort into their digital stores.
Anecdotally and personally, while I've always been a physical buyer, I much prefer to digitally purchase games on my Switch than I do on my Pro or Wii U. Convenience is a big part of the Switch for me, so I don't like to be Switching carts all the time, especially when I'm away from home. Whereas on my purely home consoles, I still prefer to buy a game physically because getting up to Switch the disc isn't much of a hassle. I wonder if others feel the same, and if they do, that could easily lead to a higher digital rate on Switch, with the main issue being the low default storage space.
Wonder if the bundle will result in PS4 "winning" December too...
Its a smart move to drop the price when the new movie is out.
Nice ! So i was correct about X vs Pro launch numbers, very good number for a $500 refresh. PUBG is killing it atm wonder what impact it has in Dec.
Yes it is. Now that Star Wars is out, this May just give them the win as this runs all the way to December 24.
Excluding launch.... lol. So 2014 was not the PS4's first holiday. And no it's still not similar at al. 100$ make a huge difference for Byers as we have seen this month's result. Other people saying it does not make it true.
When those people are analysts who are knowledgeable about sales trends and what they mean, yes, it does make it true.
No, that's not how it works. You're the one making assertions that the Switch's digital adoption rate is in line with the PS4 and XB1's, so you have to provide the evidence to back that up, otherwise you're basically just making shit up. Unless you have evidence, it makes far more sense to assume the Switch's digital adoption is in line with previous Nintendo systems like the 3DS and Wii U, than competing systems with far more established and promoted online networks.
the movie release took them by surprise it seems. there was next to no buzz or marketing.
It's probably because Microsoft thinks pubg is the be all and end all of video games atm
Was it widely predicted to be THE tentpole though? I remember people claiming it would do well, but was it touted as some sort of a system seller?
