Those are different circumstances. Digital makes sense for smartphones because no one is going to make physical gaming media that plugs into a phone. Of course iTunes gift cards are popular, its the number music digital distribution platform. I don't think the market will ever be all digital. There seems to be a different expectation for digital games vs. retail games. You don't expect a $5 Xbox Live arcade game to stack up against a $60 retail disc game.Originally Posted by Rob2600
Thats not to say there aren't quality digital only games, I just mean that its a different market. I can see how digital distribution would make sense as far as the instant gratification factor goes, but when it comes to gamers, I think the vast majority prefers having an actual product on their shelf. I mean, look at Digital Press, its built around an entire community of gamers who are like that.
