90% of games bought online by 2018, claims SCEE's Maguire
Since we're all good at guessing what will happen in 10 years, we thought it might be interesting to see how Sony feels about the future of the videogame industry, especially with the advent of digital downloads in the next couple of years. SCEE's Ray Maguire predicts that by 2018, over 90% of game sales will take place online.
But it's not really an issue limited to the videogame software industry: "... that's not true with ISPs in the future. This isn't merely a games industry issue. It's an issue for every industry with companies that have a website – and when we look at user generated content, it's a people issue." So what do you guys think? Will we have almost complete destruction of the retail industry in ten years, or will we still have access to both?
