Report: 48% of PC Games Bought in 2009 Were Digital Downloads
QUOTE Digital distribution accounted for 48% of PC games sold in the USA last year, according to a new report from market research firm The NPD Group. 21.3 million "PC Game full-game digital downloads" were purchased in the USA in 2009 while 23.5 million physical units were bought at retail during the year, according to NPD's figures. DD raked in 48% of unit sales and 36% of dollar sales. The group also offers its own ranking of the various digital distributors, divided into categories of "casual digital retailers" and those "which often focus on titles that are also offered in retail stores as physical purchases." The ranking supports Direct2Drive's refutation of Impulse's claim that it held second place in the PC DD market, at least. Top 5 Frontline Digital Retailers - 2009 (based on unit % share) 1. Steampowered.com 2. Direct2Drive.com 3. Blizzard.com 4. EA.com 5. Worldofwarcraft.com Top 5 Casual Digital Retailers - 2009 (based on unit % share) 1. Bigfishgames.com 2. Pogo.com 3. Gamehouse.com 4. iWin.com 5. Realarcade.com NPD notes that the market share of "Casual Digital Retailers" declined in 2009 over the previous year, which the group speculates is in part due to "the increase in popularity of free social network gaming and free mobile gaming." "The popularity of social network gaming increased from Q3'09 to Q4'09 as 4.8 million more people played games on a social network in the U.S.," said NPD analyst Anita Frazier. "This demonstrates how consumers can now experience casual types of games through myriad vehicles, broadening the competitive landscape." Two separate surveys served as the foundation for the report--a quarterly survey of 8,000 members of its "online consumer panel" and a weekly survey of 180,000 members. Source: Shacknews |

QUOTE(youze @ Jul 22 2010, 01:41 AM) wassup everyone. This is exciting! Mafia 2 is up on Steam and can be pre-ordered. You get the original mafia 1 if u pre-order. great stuff! Ive played mafia 1 before and still thinks it is one of best game at the time. I want to buy Mafia 2. I want to support these guys because Mafia 1 is one of the best games for me.But i think i'll pickup Mafia 2 Collector's Edition boxed version cos it will have map and books you can feel with your hands~ But I know that by the time I finish my backlog of games, Mafia 2 will probably be on sale for 2011 Summer Sales. So logic said that I should not get it now. Too bad they don't have 4-pack and 10% pre order bonus like Bioshock 2 (same publisher, 2K) |

Interesting symbol for Steam. However, Steam is going to consoles as well (Playstation 3)
 Also, Steam is also Mac friendly now. This post has been edited by kianweic: Jul 22 2010, 08:13 PM |

A bit late but...thanks for helping me out with my Steam! I finally did all the suggested things to update it today, and the hotspot shield one worked.
 EDIT: Wait, new problem, Steam keeps hanging. ARGH EDIT 2: Figured out problem. It kept timing out trying to connect to "USA - San Jose." DAMN YOU STEAM This post has been edited by Darkstalker: Jul 22 2010, 08:35 PM |
