Japan? Do you have data for the Japanese market to support this claim? 

No offense, but I don't think that we need to "support" the claim of digital sales increasing when digital sales have been shown to be increasing across the world every single year. I'd say that the onus is actually on you to prove that Japan is the exception to that if anything. Japan may not be as likely to purchase digital content on consoles as western audiences, but it's definitely increasing no doubt about it. Just look at Switch's increase in digital sales from 2017. 

Is it enough to push it over the edge? I'm not sure. It's enough to be Tales of Berseria for sure and it might bring it in line with Zestira and Xillia 2, but that's about it. Still, Bandai feels it performed well. 

Increase it´s one thing, another is surpassed the sales of physical and digital of Berseria. It´s a pure wet dream. You don´t have this data, so it´s purely speculative. Japanese sales, in this generation, prove the main drivers is physical media and digital was the main drive when physical sold out.
