The prices are very rarely as good as they should be.  Literally everyone wants them lowered, but GameStop is unwilling to adapt, and is stubbornly keeping them high.

http://n4g.com/news/1813329/ea-makes-more-than-2x-more-money-from-extra-content-than-from-full-digital-games

EA makes TWICE as much on DIGITAL CONTENT than Full Digital Purchase:

Quote :
Electronic Arts earned $195 million by selling extra content for its various games in Q2 2016. During that same period, the company earned $89 million by selling full games digitally. 

@Mecha

Beasts of No Nation was viewed by more than 3 million people within a few weeks. That's .5 more than F & F for a smaller and different film that's yet to pick-up Oscar boost.

So, yes, physical media is in a lot worse state than it used to be in.

Well, yeah. They didn't report the actual shares for the digital release. Blu-ray has gathered 67% of it's first-week sales from Blu-ray. 33% for DVD. So for digital, it's way less than that.

Erm...

Quote :
The second charge is due to what Sony calls "demand for physical media contracting faster than anticipated," especially in Europe. Because of this, Sony says it does not believe the business will generate "sufficient cash flow in the future to recover the carrying amount of long-lived assets."

and

Quote :
And it’s not just computing where the disc-based format is losing out: sales of CDs and DVDs have been steadily declining for years. The introduction of services such as iTunesNetflix and YouTube have made media much more accessible via the Internet.

in the second quarter of 2015, supermarket sellers of music (Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys) collectively lost £3 million in physical music sales compared with the previous year.

and 

Quote :
Letang also predicted serious movement in the global mobile markets, among other trends—including that digital will surpass total TV [Revenue & market-share] by 2018. 


And then, just for comparison:

Quote :
[Netflix] The company saw 4.33 million subscribers sign up in the fourth quarter, beating its forecast of 4 million new subscribers and bringing its total number of subscribers to 57.4 million worldwide.


In the current quarter it expects to add 4 million more subscribers for a total of 61.4 million worldwide.

(...) spending on Blu-ray discs [only] rose 5% during the year, it said. Still, disc sales declined 8% to $7.8 billion, due to the continued decline of DVD.
