The whole arguement of ps5 is weird. I know there are a lot of theories out there and I’m one of them that believe scalpers and/or people are buying for outside the region.

Anyway here is what I have to post...

+Miles at 46k was the best selling ps5 game in japan (as of March)
+ PS5 non-DE - 485,476 vs PS5 software sales - 179,650
Tie-ratio - 0.37
+Returnal was the best selling game on psn in apr with 1 day of sales
+Returnal being nice had 6k of digital sales which means every other was below that for a month
+RE8, it’s biggest game and debut can be anywhere between 25k-60k
+PS4 games aren’t even charting to justify ps5 sales
......

Returnal wasn't the best selling game on PSN in April for NA/Europe, not sure where you're getting a 6K worldwide figure for PSN, but that's a laughable lowball. Do you think Sony is lying to their investors in their financial reports? 

Edit: Misread the post. But I'd like to know why you think Returnal has a higher retail cut than digital? Do you have any info that offers more insight than Sony's financial reports?
