I am shockingly out of touch (Gaming)

The NPD group now more accurately tracks digital sales of video games. How much do they say now is spent on physical discs?

In 2017 so far just 26%. This is down from 69% in 2010.

To me this is pretty incredible. Digital distribution is much more prevalent than I could have ever imagined. I'm the 26%. I still generally refuse to buy digital on a console, because an all digital console is a much higher risk than on the PC for locking you out of your games.

Since I bought an Xbox One I have bought one, exactly one, game on disc.

Master Chief Collection.
