Most of my friends in Brazil, even the ones with money available go for digital games because almost everyone does that trick of sharing accounts. I dont know exactly how it works, it seems you need to have your friend as secondary on your ps4 and your friend having you as primary on his. ANyway, most people do that trick so it's easier to share games with your friends without relying on a physical copy. In that sense a digital version would make sense. But I could be wrong though, the people I know might not be a good representation of brazilian gamer population.

It is a good representation, just check mercadolivre and you'll see a lot of people selling primary or secondary account of one game, so instead of paying 250 (60USD at that time) you could pay 80-100 for secondary and 150 for primary... theoretically that one you shouldn't share, but people share even the irregularly bought games.

Also let's say you have a friend and both want to play Battlefield. You can do it at the same time sharing the account, something that is impossible with physical copies. So yeah, for some countries that only digital version being 100 less expensive makes all sense.
