That's why. Pretty significant weekly boost as well.

Gonna have to ask for a source for that. Specifically one for Japan.

I don't know about the average, but Monster Hunter World was over 50% digital in Japan on its opening week, because there was a shortage of physical copies.
Square also reported that they would have difficulties shipping out FF7R due to Covid 19, though I don't know if Japan was one of the affected areas.
Either way, considering the pandemic, I imagine incentive for digital versions have increased in general quite notably.

Personally I bought the digital version of FF7R for that reason, and I normally get games like this physically. (I will some day for collection purposes.)

The game boosting sales were a foregone conclusion. The real question is: Will that boost last some time or will it quickly dip down to pre-FF7R sales again?
