Well it's all conjecture. And the only "thrustworthy" info we got were from EA saying digital was around 20% of sales (1 year ago)

To supose there are more people intending to buy or keep external drive space for X1 then there is people increasing their internal drive on PS4 is ok, but we can't infer how much that difference is (I don't think there are that many people expending hundred bucks to have external drive on X1). The other factors you put aren't quite that impactant.

So I see no issue in accept that PS4 digital is 20% and X1 30%. But when there are assumptions of PS4 being 15% and X1 being 50% things get ridiculous.

Look at the quote above for evidence.

Yeah, one year ago, for a non first party game, at a time when Play Anywhere was only a thought... 

Also, it takes around 60 dollars to find a one TB external (proof, I own one). In between this and obtaining what's in a way two games for the price of one, it makes more sense to buy the digital version instead. There's less incentive to buy physical when digital downloads are half the cost. The reason behind my predictions lies in how MS has actively promoted digital sales over physical ones. Third party devs are not as lucky. After all, omitting third party games which aren't selling a lot, why the hell, for some odd reason, might this console still be outselling it's multimillion selling system? How are the guys at Redmond selling less games than before yet more consoles for some odd reason? 

Besides, considering this GoW was a lot better than the previous ones in some ways, I find it incredibly weird the game hasn't sold an awful lot. Because you know, this drop seems too sharp to be a decline in prominence. 

And for some reason does it cost a lot more to find a internal drive?

No it isn't two games for the price of one, sorry. But having the same game available in two systems doesn't magically turn it in 2 for 1, unless you want to count PS4 games 3 for the price of one since you can stream to PSVita and PSTV.

Half the cost where? I'm yet to find a new release that were any cheaper digitally than physical.

MS actively promote it because they cut the middleman and get more profits and lot less costs.

Now X1 is outselling which multimillion selling system? There is like 2 years since the last formal update MS gave on the numbers.

Halo and GoW have had a very sharp drop, and it makes little sense saying "ow it actually sold more than the previous version, because trust me the digital ratio is 70%"
