"There are a number of new games in the charts this week. Scarlet Nexus from Bandai Namco debuts at No.8, with 58% of sales on PS5, 21% on PS4 and 20% on Xbox consoles."

Games sell much more on playstation.
(digital splits, are roughly the same for both, so you cant go "digital sales are higher on xbox")

This isn’t true. Resident Evil 8 is the latest game to show that digital splits are higher on Xbox. 

RE:8 Physical only console split

PlayStation- 83%
Xbox-17%

RE:8 Physical and Digital console split

Playstation- 65%
Xbox- 35%

The physical sales don’t give us the full picture as physical seems to lean heavily for PlayStation. When we get Sccarlet Nexus physical and digital sales we can have a better picture of the actual split. 

This also isn't true. Thouse 2 reports where very diferent dates. The physical gap was at launch and the physical and digital was for the entire month. 

This dosent mean digital was higher during that time for Xbox just that over the course of the month the Xbox sold more copies over all and closed the gap.

I honestly belive that when xbox fans realised that it wasent coming to gamepass then they desided to buy it. Seems to be instintive to just wait and see with gamepass.
