I thought it was proven that during the Sony leaks it was found that they padded the numbers of physical copies sold and presented them in ways to benefit their stance.
Second, of course these numbers are going to be much lower if all you do is push digital over anything else and lower how many copies are even made making them harder to find and then not producing more to meet the demand.
Third, if your only selling keycode in box or a disc that just downloads the entire game instead of having the content on it then a lot less people will be willing to buy that as well.
If they want a true comparison they need to make the playing ground fair first, but we all know they love seeing this so it supports the one thing they keep preaching which is lower numbers. I know I am absolutely one of the statistics here. I purchased every game up until covid. I had a hard time finding a game that I absolutely wanted to play day 1 so I gave in and brought it digital. I caved more and more due to convienence, plus I absolutely do not see the point of buying key in box or game with download. Until they change that I can’t see the point of buying physical anymore. I would love to if it was.
