Rise is most likely over 35% as the figures we know would lead us to believe that it's actually above 2.5 million in Japan; while Famitsu figures are pretty close to physical shipments because during the first two weeks it was pretty much sold out. MHW was around 33% New Horizon was between 40-50% at launch in Japan(voucher program doing work). |
With New Horizons I don't think was as much the voucher program as the fact that physical copies were completely sold out for a while at launch. All these 3 had that problem to varying extents. AC also launched at the beginning of the pandemic which probably made digital a more appealing option to some, though I think that was a bigger factor in the West than Japan.
