Why would more hype lead to a higher proportion of digital sales specifically?

it's a game fans will know they will love and won't be trading in 2 weeks later. FOr example I will buy GTA 5 digitally but if I was to ever get say Destiny it sure as hell wouldn't be digital unless it was a flash sale at bargain price. Minecraft for example has a very high level of sales that are digital. Cheaper title but same logic. 

But on the other hand, many fans will want to own a physical copy both to display it on their shelf and in case their console dies.


an those fans will always get physical. The digital crowd will get digital plus another good portion woh only get digital for big titles they know they'll love.
