PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND:
We have to talk about the physical vs digital data, A LOT of people still buy Physical games on PS5.
More than you think, like WAY MORE! Please read and understand what Sony is doing it trying to FORCE DIGITAL games! IMO this should not even be legal:
- FY2025 Full Year (Apr 2025 – Mar 2026) = the digital to physical split was 78%/22%.
But this does NOT tell the whole story. Because this is all games sold, not all games that have physical copies and digital! So majority of the 78/22 split don't even have physical, let's look at some real numbers from leaks and stats we have:
From Insomniac Leak:
- God of War Ragnarök: 76% Physical / 24% Digital
- Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 63% Physical / 37% Digital
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical / 45% Digital
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical / 46% Digital
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical / 51% Digital
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical / 55% Digital
- Hogwarts Legacy: 44% Physical / 56% Digital
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: 40% Physical / 60% Digital
UK / Europe Retail Data (GSD – 2023/2024):
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical (UK) / and 60% Physical (Europe) – 2024
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Hogwarts Legacy: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Horizon Forbidden West: 51% Physical (UK) – 2022
People still buy a lot of physical games on PS5, especially when it's SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. When it's more mp then it goes down to more digital. But please don't just listen to the 78%/22% split, those numbers are overall numbers and don't represent the full story AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE!
Because it's not a fair comparison since all games don't have a physical copy or eventually stop printing it. They are trying to paint a narrative to control prices and take ownership from you, that is the truth and spread it!
Refuting dumb arguments against physical games🚀
🗣️“85% of players buy digital”
✅15% or even 5% in this industry is still millions of people bringing in hundreds of millions of not billions o revenue
🗣️“Netflix and Spotify ended movie and music Blu-Rays and CDs”
✅Movies are still being sold on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Rays, and music is still released on CDs, vinyl records and even collectible cassette tapes that actually work, despite being far smaller and less demanding than video games which can go over 100GB
🗣️“I haven’t bought a physical game for 10 years! It’s obsolete”
✅Your experience with games does not automatically reflect everyone else’s. If you don’t care, don’t get in the way
🗣️“It’s expensive to make games on disc”
✅Games won’t be cheaper when man all digital. You will pay the same price for a glorified rental that can be taken any time due to licensing agreements or account loss/suspension
🗣️“You’re too broke, you want to buy second hand and resell games”
✅Being a bootlicker to corporations that don’t know you exist, does not make you any less broke than those you accuse and posture in front of behind a keyboard
Physical games should always be an option. Video games are far more than just a file to download or “access” to gain. They hold sentimental value to players and collectors.
Raise your voices, players, game makers, gaming and memorabilia stores. Let us overturn this predatory decision!
Video games are an art form, not just a business and the value players hold for them should be honored and not reduced to a code to redeem and a download to revoke😎
@LOCONGAMER01 What the hell is going on with Freya’s image, talk about over-glammed up A.I image, at least use an accurate image of her. And probably the worse pic of Faye you could’ve used as the other pics look like something from a glam photoshoot
@StarGinSC2 Doesn’t help when comparing it to the left image that’s been generated by A.I to ‘glam’ up the character
There is nothing wrong with how Faye looks nor the actress that was used as the face model
Completely agree! Otherwise it’s double standards. Can’t moan if you’re happy to act the same way about something that you’re criticising. In this case, asking inappropriate questions.
“we decided at a certain point that it wasn’t okay for a male journalist to ask female actresses certain questions and I think the same rule should apply to female journalists asking male actors. I think it should be equal respect. I’ve had to sit there and bite my tongue while inappropriate questions were asked of my wonderful costar.”—well, said Caitríona👏🏽
I’m sorry, but absolutely no one will ever convince me that these 30 seconds shouldn’t have been Australia and Delta’s winning moment at Eurovision. The vocals, the camerawork, the staging; every second is iconic. Pure perfection, and easily what should have been a winning moment
@LenoreRaven@ballantyneart@BethMatuga In the case of a woman who married a king, a Queen and Queen Consort are the same thing except that no one says the consort part. Queen Elizabeth 2 was a regnant queen (born) so had power. Consorts like Camilla, Queen Mother etc have no power as they were consorts (married into)
@TaplinMarg1429@Jenny_1884 Every wife of a King are Queen Consort. The Queen Mother was consort as was Queen Mary of Teck because they were married into the monarchy. Catherine, Princess of Wales will be a Queen Consort but after William’s coronation she will be named just Queen Catherine like Camilla is
@AisLPhillips@TheCinesthetic Yup. He planned on giving up the greaser lifestyle for Sandy thinking that’s what it took to be with her. But most today tend to overlook that and only focus on “girl changed her entire persona to be with the guy” troupe as though the vice versa wasn’t literally happening
