How the hell to up to 54% of people (or more) not buy a game with their PS4. I suppose if you plan to get your first games off PSN or PSN+ instant game collection then you'd not bother with a disc based game. This suggests software numbers for PS4 on the traditional charts are going to be so inaccurate due to the amount of digital sales.

I have had a feeling all along that Japan was going to be heavily digital. That is why I have never taken the pre-order numbers to mean anything for PS4. When you figure only 3 - 5GB's are required to start playing a game, and the speed of internet, they will be playing a game in a matter of minutes. Japan is one place an all digital console would probably be very successful.
