PlayStation Store PS Store Sony 1

An increasing proportion of PlayStation 4 software is being purchased digitally through the PlayStation Store, as a Sony financial report shows that 43 per cent of full games were downloaded in the quarter that ended on 30th June. That’s the same ratio as the previous quarter, showing that consumers’ appetite for digital downloads has not declined.

While it’s an impressive statistic, it’s perhaps worth noting that the increased prominence of PlayStation Store sales will be having an enormous impact on this data. While brand new retail games can be a tougher sell digitally (particularly in Europe where they typically cost more than their physical counterparts), you can get some absolute bargains if you wait around for one of Sony’s many online promotions.
