What % of next gen games are you going to buy digitally?

Just curious on what most people are going to be doing but how many of you are going to be buying your next gen games digitally? I plan on making the majority of my purchases digitally, also do you think either company will allow some type of sharing of digital content?

I'm a PC gamer, so... %100?

Sadly, I'm still swayed by preorder bonuses fairly often and Amazon's flexible pricing.

That said, if Sony continues to not charge me sales tax, I may just buy everything digital on my PS4. It will be like buy 10 get one free!

All PC-games and all console multiplayer games.

if it comes in a box i'll buy it in a box. I prefer to own the things i buy.

The vast majority, if not all. And yes, it's largely because I'm a PC gamer now but it's a habit I plan on carrying on into the consoles if I get them - I just love the way you can decide on buying a game and have it up and ready to run within the hour after purchase (100 MB fiber, baby!)

I have no idea

Probably 80%. I'd much rather be a shut-in and download them all.

If its a good single player game that I'll want to share, I'll buy the disk.

Not sure really. I finally bought my first Retail 3DS game digitally which was Animal Crossing. I still enjoy having the physical game, but if it's a game like AC that should be played daily, then maybe I will get Digital.

43.24518%

All of it, I am a PC gamer. And my main platform is PC.

If you mean consoles, going to the PS4 and buying the disks.

Depends on the price. Downloading games that are a few gigs is appealing to me only if it costs less than the disc based version.

Unless pricing really comes into line with retail stores, then for mainstream releases it'll be near enough 0%.

I'll still continue to hoover up the smaller Arcade/PSN/Estore titles as and when I see something interesting, with the occasional purchase of larger titles during a sale.

i think there will be a few games where i buy the box but the majority will be digital, my wife always gives me dirty looks when she see's the stack of games i own get bigger.....at least not she want have to see that stack :)

I have a suspicion I will start with the box and within a year or two go mostly digital.

So I will be just the person Sony and Microsoft is trying to create this console generation.

I will try to stick as close to 0% as I can. I'm not going to pay more for retail but won't get digital if the offer is not good enough.

Since I play mostly on PC nowadays I'd say damn near 100%.

PC 100%

Looking at front covers is nice but damn they can take up a lot of room.

I will most likely buy physical since I like having a collection of games.

For PC 100%

For PS4 only the small digital only games, because retail games will probably kill my usage limits.

On PC I will keep buying all 100%. On console I will still keep buying 0%. I refuse to buy digital console games because you have to throw out your collection every 4-5 years when the next thing comes out. On PC you will always have a way to play your games thanks to modders but on consoles you only get them as long as the platform wants to support them.

0% it would take a month to dowload some 40 gig game on my shitty Internet.

@scrumdidlyumptious: Usage Limits? As in your internet is capped or something?
Does downloading PC games not count towards that? I'm confused.

I plan on going all digital next gen. I hate swapping discs and having all my Vita titles digital just makes me need all digital.

I occasionally like to swap games back and forth... I'm thinking about going all boxed- for PS4, anyway.

I still plan on playing most of my games on PC though, so obviously those will all be digital.

The majority of them. I'll never leave my house again.

I don't know. It will depend on prices. If retail games still go down in price much quicker then I'll be picking up any of my non-essential games that way. If it's a game I know I'm going to buy day one then it will depend on if the games can be pre-downloaded so they are ready to play right away, or what time of day they are released. If they release at midnight then I might pick them up to download overnight but if they release at say noon, then I'll probably just grab it at a store and install off the disc.

90ish?

Do arcade and download only count if not. 0% my internet is to slow to wait 6 hours for a game and I love boxes.

As few as possible probably, unless Sony finally adopts more flexible pricing and makes buying digitally actually worthwhile.

Most if not all my game purchases on next gen minus the computer will be boxed. I still enjoy the experience of going into the store and seeing all those games. I also like having no shelf space.

If I'm spending a full $60 then I want it in physically copy. If I can't find it in stores cuz it's sold out or whatnot, then I'll buy online.

On the ps4 maybe just a few. Unless they have pretty killer sales or something then maybe ALL!

I just hope they sell online codes for games since putting my card on my PSN account has yet to work.

If I had to guess, getting a PS4 means probably jumping on PS+ so with that and a PC, most of my stuff will be digital going forward. As much as people make a stink about used on console, comparing the two still favors PC digital downloads and to a degree PS+ over used. I could care less where it comes from as long as it's cheap and easy to get, and I can't say I've been impressed with the used games market after getting my PS3 in 2009. If the new focus on digital means even better deals on that front but I guess I could still trade discs with my friends on Playstation, that's fine.

Depends on the percentage of my laziness.

I'll probably buy the vast majority of my games online, aside from games I'm uber psyched about and am getting a Special Edition for. I do want all of my portable games digitally, though, just so I don't have to carry around cartridges.

As close to 100% as possible on my PS4, and once Nintendo gets an account system I'll do the same on my 3DS.

For consoles, if given the choice, I'll always want a physical copy. I've never purchased a digital game for consoles. For PC I have roughly 10 games purchased on Steam, with the rest of my PC game collection being physical store purchased copies.

100%. Probably gonna wait a few years before I jump on the new consoles, though. Steam, ahoy!

I've moved to a new place eight times in the last eight years so less boxes and stuff is a blessing. 100% digital where possible.

Dunno, depends on what sort of deals are around. I buy both physical and digital and it just comes down to which is offering me a better deal.

Likely 90%+. Obviously all PC purchases are digital, which is my main platform right now, and it seems pretty unlikely I'll be bothered to buy a physical copy unless it has a neat pre-order tin like the Forza games or there's a really good deal on. It's hard for Gamespot and similar stores to compete when they've got physical product, so I don't see much reason for buying physical anymore. The only reason I could see there being would be if HDD space becomes an issue (stupid 700GB Steam folder), but it sounds like both platforms are going to require installs regardless. I guess the other part of that is I've got a bandwidth cap, so if games are quick to get to 40GB+ downloads, then I might have to start buying physical again.

Digital means no sales tax over here which means 9$ saved on a 60$ game which means all of them probably.

95%

I will most likely never buy a boxed game after this gen.

all

The very lowest percent. For instance Killer Instinct will be digital only... so only if a game is digital only will I buy it digitally.

As long as my local electronics store continues to have stock of new games on release day, I will continue buying physical media. This would only change if digital copies are offered at a meaningful discount.

0%

I like boxes.
