Whut?Digital sales are always included in the financial reports.It is included in the shipment numbers.

My bad.

Let's use VG Chartz numbers then because having to guess digital sales is talking out of our asses. Numbers for RE 7 are worse than past games. It's already sub 35k something that happend with RE5/6 after the 10th week. RE7 dropped below that number on the 8th week. It's tracking behind those games and I don't see this game having great legs.

I just don't see it, RE 7 is not going to get to RE5/6 levels of sales.

But you see, in an age that digital sales gets more and more important, to simply ignore it is to make an unfair comparison.

I will take your word up to it and believe that RE 7 is already falling behind in week to week sales compared to RE 5 and 6 physical sales.But RE 7 is available on PC, while they both werent(at least, not at launch or anywhere near it as far as I know), and PC sales are 100% digital.Going further into this, even digital consoles sales are relevant, taking about 20% of sales right now.If you ignore those numbers, and assuming that shipment numbers are somewhat close to the sell through numbers, you are basically ignoring 1 million sales, out of 3.5.That is too significant a number to ignore in an comparison.

The fairest comparison would be to compare the shipment numbers alligned.But I dont think we have that number, do we?
