This news shouldn’t come as a shock to any Steam users; Sony says that the digital business is growing faster than retail business.
Speaking with Destructoid’s Dale North , Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida said “Digital business is the faster growing business. We do not publish numbers, but every month it’s almost a new record that the purchase on Vita is higher than the PS3, because everything is available [digitally].”
Sony is no stranger to the digital platform; the PS Vita and PSP Go are perfect examples of this. Combine the digital growth with Sony’s Gaikai partnership, and you may have a perfect storm brewing for the PlayStation 4.
