How is it not a good metric? All the major AA/AAA titles, and a variety of indie titles, have digital/physical versions. The best selling titles on the Playstation platform are AAA titles. Or do you think digital only indies represent the majority of sales on the Playstation platform? 

He isn’t even saying that now, he literally pointing out it’s not 80% which he is correct, it can be 50%/60% or even 70% but it’s not 80% unless you think no indie game sold on ps platform. I’ll give you example on a random sold number.

100,000,000 games sold (physical/digital), you believe 80,000,000 are digital that has a physical copy and 20,000,000 are physical. That’s if 0 digital only games sold.

Reality with again 100,000,000 example.... 65,000,000 digital (that have a retail copy) 20,000,000 are physical and 15,000,000 is digital only.

There is a difference, and I’m not sure if that figure was suppose to include mtx/dlc cuz if it does that 65% goes even lower

Also the digital only software includes shovelware and other small games that go on sale for 90% or more. Those certainly sell alot, especially since there are alot of them.
