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

My original point was the weekly charts lack context when it comes to PS5 software. The digital split doesn't have to be 80% to show that PS5 software sales in Japan aren't as gloomy as many assume, especially when we know Sony had 65% of software sales coming from digital downloads in FY20, with that number rising to 80% in Q4. MTX/DLC is not included in those figures as you can see on pg. 9 in this financial report: 

Supplemental Information for the Consolidated Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 (sony.com)

Despite Sony manufacturing the majority of PS5's with a disc drive the majority of sales are still coming through PSN.
