The big retailers don't even carry them anymore.

mkis00784d ago

Have yet to see one big retailer that has carried games in the past not have games now...yet. maybe in more rural areas?

Well I know I’ve been buying physical more than ever, but it doesn’t help when they don’t put the full game on disc...

-Foxtrot85d ago

Sometimes it feels like a manipulation tactic so you’ll go “meh…may aswell just get the digital version at this rate” then they can turn around and be like “see nobody is buying physical for some reason, guess we’ll focus more on pushing digital since that’s what consumers clearly want”

It’s that and laziness to put it bluntly

fr0sty85d ago

I started buying digital only back in the PS3 days. It's just more convenient, I don't have to worry about it getting damaged, I don't have to wait for the game to copy to my HDD, it's already there, I can have it automatically download on release day... it doesn't take up room in my entertainment center.

However, I will always advocate for supporting physical formats, because of the ownership issue. If it can be taken away from me, I don't own it. Technically they can lock you out of online play (which is many entire games) even on physical copies, so they're not totally safe from it, but it's better than every game being like that.

i buy physical as much as i can, but its difficult when said "physical" only has a fraction of a game on it.

its definitely a intentional practise

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing30d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit30d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing30d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9229d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
