In Europe the game only got a digital release which is heavily skewing these numbers.  

That's interesting.  I wonder we will see more digital-first releases going forward.  I would let the developer make more money, and keep people from trading in the game when done.

Yeah it's interesting.  But they didn't do it on purpose.  There was a manufacturing default so they had to delay the retail release by 3 weeks at least.  In future we might see games come out a week earlier for digital.
