Anyway I'm done here, to me you have to be pretty dumb to buy a lot of games digitally. It's flushing money away and there is no system in place to insure you keep those games forever.


I don't buy a lot of games digitally. I still buy major releases physically. But I think digital is fine for plenty of things, like smaller indie games, Virtual Console and certain sales.

And I know it was an exaggeration, but a games selling digital at 5% of the physical copy barely happens, IF it has even happened ever.


It wasn't an exaggeration. I was specifically referring to retro games and stuff like Virtual Console, not normal new titles. Look at Earthbound - it's $8 on VC or equivalent to less than $4 on the SNES Classic, but original cartridges go for over $150. Most examples aren't that extreme, but even for common games, the VC is usually at most still half the price of a cartridge.
