Physical is still the biggest part of the console industry. Until that shifts over, we'll continue to use NPD, Amazon and VGC as references.

Yea and that's fine I see no issue with it. It's just at this point it's nothing but assumptions really. Were missing to much data now at this point to really do anything but make assumptions.


But exactly how farfetched is the assumption "more retail sales = more digital sales"?

That's just it we don't know there is know and there is no way to know unless the company comes right out and says it. In fact I think one company (EA or activaition can't remember) said that digital sales were nearly 50% of their game sales. 

no thats wrong. maybe u talk about overall digital games revenue (including seasonpass, microtransaction and anything)

 

ubisoft said watch_dogs has about 10% of its next gen console sales digital (slighlty more to 10% for ps4 and slightly more to 11% for xb1) pc was about 70%
ea said digital attachrate depends on the type of game and the region. its between 10 and 15% (ufc as example was near to 15%)
square enix relased digital attachrate for this quarter as follow: ~32% overall and  ~36% na and europe. u should note, that this also include high digital attachrate games + arcade titels and is not the breakdown for AAA physical realse games
