Zero_Maniac 10/09/17 8:58:56 AM #1:	It acts on the assumption that over half of video game sales are indeed digital. I remember the previous poll indicating over half of the voters being digital only or something like that.

Yeah, no. This article is being dishonest. It's equating people who casually play Candy Crush on their phones for 2 minutes at a time to people who play actual console/PC games. That's like equating some shmuck who flies an RC copter in his backyard to a guy who flies a fighter jet for the military and calling them both pilots. It's just a stupid thing to do.
