PS4 and Xbox One lead digital games to $1.2B December

Some people hate seeing physical crap pile up in their space, which is one of the reasons digital gaming had a huge month in December.

Digital-game spending in the U.S. reached $1.2 billion last month, according to industry-tracking firm SuperData Research. That’s up 11 percent from the same period in 2013. SuperData credits the consoles as well as mobile for the growth, but it also points out that the continued decline of social gaming on platforms like Facebook is putting some drag on the market.
