Xbox One and PlayStation 4 help increase digital gaming market by 25%

The digital side of the gaming industry got a major boost from next-gen and the new releases in November.

Total digital sales for the game industry topped $1.06 billion for the month, according to industry-tracking firm SuperData Research. That figure includes mobile, social, and downloadable console and PC games, as well as expansions and subscriptions for titles like World of Warcraft. Digital sales are up 25 percent compared to Nov. 2012, and that’s primarily due to a huge uptick in the sales of full digital games on consoles and PC.
