Digital delivery of games and gaming content is the inevitable future. But how prevalent is it in the present? The NPD Group estimate that, as it stands, digital downloads on a console are doingâŠOK.
The retail tracking firm reckon that, of all Xbox Live âGoldâ subscribers, 18% of them âregularly download from Xbox Live Arcadeâ. When it comes to the PlayStation Network, things arenât quite as big, as only an estimated 10% of account holders âregularly buy digitally from Sonyâs PlayStation Networkâ.
Itâs important to note that this survey isnât counting somebody who bought a single copy of Street Fighter II over XBLA and left it at that. Itâs tracking those who buy, and buy often.
