No, I mean digital games that don't have a download card presence.  Only available digitally.   Minecraft and Rain have download cards.

Indie titles?  Virtual Consoles titles?   See my point?

 

- The games still need to sell over the lower threshold to appear on the bottom end of the chart.  Which means they have to sell more digitally than all other games on the chart sell digitally + physically.  Might not be a particularly large number, but indie games don't have a particularly large presence in Japan.

Anyway, I've sent Hiska a message so hopefully he'll show up eventually to clarify this, since he's the one buying the issues of Famitsu every month and translating the data so he'll know what it's for.

Bottom of the digital chart is 870 units.  That is incredibly small for even indie games.  To say nothing of Virtual Console type games or other big digital only releases.

Ask him how Famitsu obtains their digital data too.
