These charts are physical game sales, but this week we got the digital games sales for hogwarts legacy. Surprisingly ps5 digital version of hogwarts legacy outsold the physical version this week.

[remember_spinal]

The digital numbers on hogwarts playstation are insane

Imagine if we only got the physical numbers like Japan or UK?

 

[Captain Toad]

Weird PS5 has higher digital percentage of sales than Xbox.

 

[drganon]

Spain is full of bigots. /s

Previously I'd be like "WTF is going on." But after that EU market share and Console MAU reveal, these are actually ok numbers for XBOX.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

The narrative that Xbox digital sales are higher than physical in shambles.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Spain will always be Sony's turf.

Japan would be interesting to see the digital numbers. I'd bet we'd see alot more ps5 games enter the charts.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

The narrative that Xbox digital sales are higher than physical in shambles.

Thats official data.

 

[Heisenberg007]

PS5's Digital ratio = 59%
Xbox's Digital ratio = 40%

Finally, that baseless, dataless narrative is debunked that Xbox has a higher digital ratio than PS, and UK boxed sales do not matter.

Also, the sales split for Hogwart's Legacy (physical + digital) here is 79:21.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

The narrative that Xbox digital sales are higher than physical in shambles.

it was/is a copium narrative

 

[Heisenberg007]

Thats official data.

Can you please link to the official Xbox data and its digital ratio?

We already know of the PlayStation digital ratio. It'd be easy to compare the two.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Also, look at TLOU P1 outselling God of War Ragnarok this week!

Yep, thats what im starting to think also. Physical sales mean less and less as time goes on, i wouldn’t be surprised if the hogwarts sales are similar there with such low stock of physical for it.

Thats how elden ring sold 1 million copies in japan those first few months even though physical was only showing 300k between ps4 and ps5

 

[lh032]

Already knew who is the winner as usual lol.

300K (physical) + 700K (digital) is pretty common, I'd say.

Industry-wide digital ratio is around 60-65%. So 70% digital ratio for Elden Ring wasn't too surprising.

The EU marketshare graph matches this and spain is usually the worst for xbox so I would be surprised if the wider EEA is also 80/20.

Xbox = 20/(75+20) = 21%
PS = 79%

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

sony really score a big win with that Marketing deal.

Edit: the really interesting number is going to be the Hardware sales increse. that is going to tell us how much of a success HL had selling new PS5

 

[Heisenberg007]

sony really score a big win with that Marketing deal.

Yep, very strategic of Sony.

I suspect their next big deal, Avatar, will also have similar positive results for PlayStation. It won't likely do Hogwart's numbers, but it will sell a lot of units nevertheless and most of them would be on PlayStation.

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Spain will always be Sony's turf.

Or terf

What's good amount of consoles to be sold a week in Spain please?

 

[Saber]

Thats very weird, why the digital is higher than physical there?

Is this have something to do with cheaper prices or something? Thats happens sometimes in Brazil

Maybe day 1 buyers intend to sell it later.

Once it goes on sale later, digital will pull ahead.

Also physical copies get into circulation in used market, that will take some time.

You can tell who did statistics and who didn't.

Are they though? 21% of all sales, when Playstation has two other first party titles in the top 10 also.

 

[mckmas8808]

Why do you say that?

 

[reksveks]

Why do you say that?

cause you don't take a single data point to prove/disprove anything, its not statistically relevant.



Before I get attacked, not saying it makes it even in general or even the same attach rate. I should have a look at the 'content and services' revenue from MS for the previous Q again and how it compares to rough MAU numbers.

I think it's 65% now, though I might be thinking of them combined rather than just PS5.
Edit: yeah its all of them lol 66%.

If we look purely at the games that were released both digitally and physically (so discounting all physical-only and digital-only games), 66% of games sold in the UK last year were downloaded.

 

[reksveks]

You may be already accounting for it, but remember that these percentages that Chris is giving is just aggregated launch week splits for games. How Chris is exactly aggregating it, I am not sure.
