And that is the key to the discussion. Jacob Send a noteboard - 06/11/2009 07:32:18 PM
"It will still be a significant amount of time before digital distribution replaces traditional retail..."

First line of the article. Emphasis mine.


Oddly enough, I think we're closer to a primary digital distribution of books than we are of games... not odd if you look at the economics at play in the situations but more in the sense of a Book and a Video Game.

Digital distribution or not? Dragonsworn - 06/11/2009 05:06:30 PM 976 Views
I'm a collector, so digital distribution is not really for me. jh - 06/11/2009 05:23:20 PM 629 Views

The technical feasibility issue is a big one, too. Aemon - 06/11/2009 08:00:21 PM 634 Views
Well to be fair, Nintendo didn't really offer another viewpoint. Aemon - 06/11/2009 07:44:05 PM 647 Views
Poor choice of word on my part Dragonsworn - 06/11/2009 08:07:06 PM 755 Views
I feel like both should exist, like CDs, Magazines, etc. Digital will never 100% trump tangibility. *NM* Zalis - 06/11/2009 07:54:19 PM 279 Views
"Never" is a rather foolish word to use. I agree though, it'll take a while. *NM* Aemon - 06/11/2009 08:02:55 PM 278 Views
They might be able to coexist? For a while... Dragonsworn - 06/11/2009 08:18:33 PM 810 Views
I don't like the idea of digital being the only thing available MightyYT - 07/11/2009 08:45:34 AM 640 Views
Definate no. Bergioyn - 07/11/2009 10:08:09 AM 545 Views
Why would pirating give you a hard copy? Ghavrel - 08/11/2009 01:02:36 AM 603 Views
It does not. Bergioyn - 08/11/2009 09:02:17 AM 626 Views
But with digital copies it is possible... Ghavrel - 09/11/2009 02:18:01 AM 653 Views
