And here we come another week! How are you taking your time at home? We don't stop playing! And for that reason, we have not been able to prevent a doubt from arising … Are you more of the physical format or the digital format?
With everything that is happening, which is generating that Priority products are prioritized and there are delays in video game shipments, many users who have spent a lifetime buying in physical format have gone digital, not only as a method of raising awareness so as not to saturate the distribution services that are so necessary these days, but as a measure to ensure that your expected titles can be enjoyed in time.
Therefore, on this occasion we want to ask you about it; Have you noticed that you buy more in digital format than before? Do you think the tendency to purchase titles through the Nintendo eShop Has it grown with all this that has happened? There are many doubts, but as always, You have the last word!
The coin begins to spin … Do you think that the digital format has eaten ground for the physicist because of the coronavirus?
The physical format is still without equal

Is there greater satisfaction than that of admire your game collection
Power sell the games that we are not interested in, or keep them (with enough care to keep them running, of course) long after the online services of a console are discontinued. Enjoy dlimited editions with exclusive items of your favorite adventures, or special sales of the chains where the reservations that allow you to take even a poster or a keychain that make you not forget your experience with a title. To have the possibility of renting, buy second hand or exchange with friends whenever we want, as it was done in the old way, no need for accounts that could well be lost
When we spend money on something, making it tangible gives us security and, of course, much more certain that we invest in the right thing that a digital product, that although it does not take up space, is nothing more than a license that could be revoked in the event of theft of our accounts, or some other mishap …
Yes, due to the sad situation that the coronavirus has caused, it may the distribution of video games in our beloved physical format is going through a bad drink, but, of course, it will recover, and when all things return to normal, the digital format will remain the same as always: being convenient, but finding itself a step below the wonders of the physical. Yes, I will be getting old, but what can I say? Wherever a good cartridge is, take the rest!
The digital format has broken more barriers
By: Sergio Hall
First of all, I would like to emphasize that I am still one of the romantics who personally prefer the physical format. That feeling of having the box in your hands, of being able to add to your bookshelf one more jewel that reminds you of a new adventure that you have accomplished, for me, is priceless.
However, to Caesar what is Caesar's. The digital format has been growing for a long time and, with all this coronavirus crisis, it has proven to be one of the best entertainment channels for many users. Even for those who have never purchased a video game in digital format, and I think this is where the key to all this lies.
I am going to refer to the data, because I think it is the best way to defend it: March has been the month with the highest earnings from digital titles in all history (10 trillion dollars), with Animal Crossing: New Horizons as the best-selling digital game in its first month.
What do I pose with all this? Well In this huge amount of sales, there are users who have probably never bought a digital title or who, if they have, have been reluctant to extend this practice as usual. However, for obvious reasons, this format is the most comfortable and fastest in these times.
Sure, we can say that many chains and stores continue to ship home titles in physical formatof course. However, some longer delivery times added to the fact that many people understand that, having the digital option, it is much more coherent and civic not to send out a delivery man to take the video game on duty, they have made digital sales the option even for those who refused it before all this. And be careful, a great majority will have realized the virtues that it has.
And it is that, friend Carlos, they are not few. You have numerous periodic offers in the eShop, a great facility to acquire them and the possibility of “here and now”: you buy it, it is installed instantly and you play. This has led to a sea of beneficial test for the digital format, which will be extended beyond the duration of the confinement, since many users have broken those barriers that they previously had against this format.
Nor do I mean by this that the physicist is going to disappear, far from it. Of course, I will keep wanting to buy my favorite boxed games. But I think that many of those users who previously did not want to buy a game because "it only comes out digital" And even those who want to have a title on their console from day one and cannot go to the store to buy it, will try with this digital format that has worked so well in this difficult time. The digital format will become more consolidated than we think.
