Are you always this misinformed? or is it just once in while?
@ Logicwins
You seem to always change a topic to suite your needs. " @Cupid- Physical retailers are going nowhere and digital isn't the ideal means for everyone. Not sure why your so obsessive in regards to this topic."
This Article is "NOT" talking about General Retailers such as best Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and other major retailers. This article is specifically addressing "dedicated video game retailers." quite a diff...
Speaking of contents and price. I still don't know how Polyphony Digital can pack so much content into GT5 plus frequent updates, and only charge $60.00 for it.
I've owned the game since day one, own a Logitech GT 5 wheel and I play the game regularly, and there's are still some tracks that I've yet to race on, and Some cars that I have yet to use. Plus all the seasonal events that I haven't even thought about touching yet.
Just when y...
EA among many other major publishers are expecting their digital sales to overtake the physical sales within the next 2 years. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1...
In the meantime, even pre-owned games sales numbers are declining each quarter for GameStop.
@ DeadSpaced
Please explain your point of view a little more. Sony makes the PSP, PS Vita, the PlaySation 3, and soon the PS4. There are no bigger manufacturers in the consoles business then Sony when it comes to the sheer number of hardware they support at once.
In the Last 8 years, Sony have sold some 245 millions units of hardware between the PsP, PS2, PS3, and the Vita. That number is second only to Nintendo's 273 million. I think you might be un...
@Hammad
Yes physical copies will be around for a long time, and Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Futureshop, Amazon, craiglists will always be around to sell them.
All the retailers mentioned above have one thing in common, video games sales makes up a very small portion of their total inventory. GameStop on the other hand only sell video games, so the digital trend that's going on right now, will hurt them. And when that trend goes full steam (no pun intended...

Yea it's cool, It was at the very bottom of the article
It says it right in the article that is optional and can be routed to your headphones.

Retail will always be around. But specialized retail shops such as GameStop and the likes are going to become increasingly insig...
I say we let Killzone be Killzone and save the $50-$300 million dollars to make different games that offer different experiences.
I would take a "Kara" (Tech Demo from Quantic Dreams) any day over Killzone, Halo, CoD, or games of the like. We've seen and play so many shooters already as it is.
I've always said that this is exactly how they're going to phase out GameStop and the likes. So their days are numbered.

It will come in very handy when you're playing split screen multiplayer games. As of right now, when Playing COD or Killzone with my buddies, I get confused when I hear kill confirmed as I'm not sure if it's for me or my buddies.
So hearing it directly from your controller takes away from some of the confusion.
But Sony also makes tablets and Smarts phones, plus the PS4 is specifically made to interact with Tablets and smart phones. So I'm not sure I get where those so called analyst are coming from.
Again? Wrong...
@ fermcr
That's pretty much exactly what I'm saying. If you want to still be driving a 1969 Mustang in 2013 I hope you kept your "1969 Mustang".
Because technological advances shouldn't be hindered because some prefer to hang on to the past. If you want to play PS1, PS2, and PS3 Games, then you and the masses should've have been the first ones to pick the 60gb PS3 when it was $600.00. As that would have sent a strong message to Son...

"With the money i already spent on PSN i expected to transfer current-gen PSN games to PS4. It's very unlikely i waste more money on PSN from now on."
I'm sorry, but is your PS3 wired with a time bomb that will go off when the PS4 hit store shelves later this year?
I mean sure it would be convenient to be able to have those games transfer over. But if they don't, you still own your PS3 and Sony guarantees you th...
@ ChazJamie
You couldn't possibly be serious... GT5 the most with the most accurate physics of all the GT games, Night, dynamic weather, rain, Rally, is the worst GT you've played?
Ok... I'm off to up my B-Spec stats, I'm still at level 21.
