Gibson on Twitter says PS5 has sold 500k physical software for approx 1 million hardware. XSX has sold 4k iirc from 90k.

People aren't scalping XSX. I think its clear PS5 has a big digital ratio. Hopefully we get data on it soon.

Why would digital be high when you can buy a second-hand copy of Resident Evil Village for under Y3,000 or Tales of Arise for Y5,000? Village has only gotten a 30% discount digitally compared to being 50% via the second-hand market; Tales of Arise can be bought for 35% less than the price on the digital storefront.. 

You are just posting wishful thinking especially when we know that Resident Evil Village the best-selling game on the PS5 had around 20% digital at launch thanks to Gibson, and this share has only gone down as second-hand copies became readily available at a fraction of the price. 

This just shows how out of touch you are with the market.

People buy digital for a number of reasons, from convenience, no space, to having a centralised library that can follow you. Digital has been expensive in the UK as well, yet that didn't stop the adoption.

Until we get clear digital data on PS5, its hard to conclude.
