what are the official download numbers for second son? enlighten us please. 

If you really think that a game that sold 1.7m retail copies has sold over 500k digitally, then I don't know what to tell you honnestly. Sorry.

that was a guess. I compared the actual figures in terms of downloads and ratings for mincraft ps3 and watchdogs ps4 and the ratio works out as 1 rating per 30-40 purchases. Infamous second son has sold 1.8 retail so does it sound out of this world if it had 350k digital downloads and 1.8m retail? 

I don't think so. 

Out of this world for a game like infamous second son, yes. Minecraft is the type of game most people would download. Infamous Second son and Destiny, not so much. I'd be willing to bet it more then likely sold around 50-75k digitally. But obviously, I can't prove that. It's just guesses. However, it's very improbable that it sold 250k+ digitally.

Watch dogs has about 350k digital downloads on PS4. I don't think it's out of this world to suggested a much better received game that had no resolution/downgrade saga controversy had a digital attach ration a bit higher. 

Honestly you thinking Second Son only has around 60k downloads is crazy. I just checked the EU psn store and for the regular edition 49.9k people have given it a thumbs up rating. Another 1.3k gave the legendary edition a thumbs up. SO you're trying to tell me about 90% of buyers gave it a thumbs up? 

Come on you know that's wildly innacurate. As I said that game has likely about 300k downloads and my evidence suggest so.

Also I agree that destiny will have a low ratio. A lot of destiny buyers got it with the PS4 bundle and it got a lot of stick so I reckon a lot of people got it from the stores. Most people only download games they know are good. Plus the game has less ratings than the likes of infamous on the store which have sold less retail than it. 

Well last time I was on my ps4, I gave a few games a thumbs up and I had not purchased it digitally (I think it was a rating, if not then ignore this). 

But honnestly, it's useless to argue this without any facts to back anything up. I think that you're severely overestimating digital sales on consoles.
