Well on that you can look at HZD... something between 1/4 and 1/3 of retail games are sold digitally. And of course 100% of digital only is sold digital. If that put digital sales at 40% of total sales (that probably includes DLC and the likes)... I would say that retail still represents more than 2/3 of games sold, maybe even 4/5.

Also, I'd say that 26.9% is closer to 1/4 than 1/3.

You are right. But when I wrote the 1/3 I was rounding 915 to 1M and 3.4M to 3M, and that would be 1/3, Just after I made the division and didn't bother to change it to 1/4.

But yes, 1/4 would be closer to it (although maybe considering they probably count shipped SW and digital sales, if we were just counting sales it would be closer to 1/3, but that is almost irrelevant)...

Sure thing that when we discuss those games that people inflate the total sales (that weren't ever formally disclosed, but we get physical sales on NPD) that would make more difference, even more when some crazy put 50%+ digital ratio.
