So, you're saying that the % is the same for all game types?

Not at all. Just that there are fewer people willing to fill up their tiny console hard drive with massive games than is sometimes stated. Especially when many people don't have amazing internet. 

The games fill up the HDD no matter what. Whether you buy Fallout 4 physical or digital it's going on the HDD.

Anyways, that's some massive digital sales, including 600k for consoles. I think the mistake people make when talking about digital sales is assuming all things are equal. If Game A does such and such digital, that doesn't mean Game B should then do a similar amount. Also, if Publisher A says Q% of their sales are digital, that doesn't mean all games for Publisher A sell Q% digital. One title could be eating up 60% of all those digital sales and 13 other titles could be sharing the remaining 40%.

It's too bad we're not in a position to see how well games sell digitally. But not surprising when they're so secretive about physical sales. Until it's report time, anyway.
