Are they all buying games digitally or does this even include digital sales?

Digital sales in Japan are very, very low, less 10% of total on average. So no. I suspect the PSN free-to-play games are lighting up PS4s in Japan.

Source?

Famitsu, as reliable as sources get:

Interesting. I'm really not surprised by the low digital sales forPS3 and Nintendo but I really thought at least the Vita would have a higher rate.

Still thinking this will change with the PS4 over time.

Oh I agree. But it is wishful thinking PS4 rates are higher % than these right now. I beleive free game (Knack, free is still free) plus the F2P games from PSN are keeping Japanese busy for now.

Definitely. Was just confused because there were some people on this forum claiming that the digital rate in Japan is especially high.

That's why I answered you. ;) People state their wishes as facts. You asked for source and data, which is the right way to find out real information. Digital Age will come to Japan, I am sure, but it is not there now (apart from mobile, of course).
