| Bofferbrauer2 said: The amount being based on unit sales or revenue is insignificant and more importantly totally beside the point (I wasn't even looking at those numbers) when you have the percentages of the total sales to compare, and here there's a 8.8 percentage points increase YoY, from 34% of the revenue coming from digital sales in FY20 going up to 42.8% in FY21. And while a part of that increase is certainly due to Covid, I don't think it will drop below 40% anymore even after the pandemic is over. |
My intention with this post was not to invalidate your point, but to provide some additional context. Besides that, I think that the difference between revenue and unit sales IS important especially when talking about the demand for digital vs. physical games. It might not matter for shareholders where revenue is coming from, but for gauging the demand for digital games on switch this metric is definitely a useful datapoint.
