You've probably heard things like this "Sharp 75.0% rise in Digital revenue to €670.3 million (representing 56.3% of total sales compared with 47.2% one year earlier)" https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/02/12/1339302/0/en/UBISOFT-REPORTS-THIRD-QUARTER-2017-18-SALES.html Yeah, digital makes up more of the revenue. But that includes digital only games, DLC, microtransactions etc, all things which bring in a lot of money and aren't even possible to buy physical and it's still only barely above 50% of total revenue. So clearly for actual game sales alone digital is still quite a bit below 50%. |
I don't know. The issue of digital vs physical is not very clear. All I can say is that digital is not counted in millions but in BILLIONS...
This video sheds some light and for those too lazy to watch the video, let me quote a relevant line at 4:39 that goes:
"6 years ago, the US market was 2 thirds physical, now it's 3 quarters digital" (that's 75% digital and 25% physical and this is not even now, this was almost a year ago which is when that video got posted)
