I'm shocked so many of the copies sold at luanch are digital. Do people really find it that convenient with games that big, or does this game have massive PC sales?

Convenience is a big factor. Far Cry is very popular on PC so there is that. Still AC Origins had 35% digital sales and its a more console focused series. Horizon has sold 7.6 million by March and 4.7 million at retail so that game has 35% sales digital and it doesn't have a PC version to boost its digital numbers. Digital is growing more popular.

eh not really. It's pretty much just as popular as any other big 3rd party multiplat franchise.
You might confuse it because the first Far Cry was PC exclusive, but since Ubisoft took over Crytek's work, the franchise went in a completely different direction.
AC is indeed more console focussed, but that's because Ubisoft likes to release the PC version 6 months later.
