So you will suggest that Japan has a low digital rate, as low as 30%, while the worldwide rate is 71-79%. That means in other countries like the US, the rate would up to 90% in order to average out.

Instead, I think all major markets have similar digital rates.

Bold: This is world wide. In Japan digital is lower.

You have two problems with this comparison. First, digital in Japan is very low, included sony consoles. Second, the Ps4/Ps5 have two consoles in different situations.  We don´t know how the percentage of the ratio digital/physical have ps5, year pass and consoles with more time have a percentage of digital bigger than physical, the recent switch paper demonstrate this. 

Digital is also much higher during pandemic level events. Digital also tends to be higher as generations go on, and the PS5/XBS is the latest generation. Yeah we have no idea the digital levels, so then why is the PS5 not selling any SW in Japan?

Take the optimistic route for once.
