I think otherwise, PS5 launch limits ER success on this platform, Steam is the easy option. And out of Japan Xbox S have a big digital ratio, different of happening with Monster Hunter. Europe you have some countries with a 70% digital ratio on Xbox Series. 

Nearly 70% of PlayStation's software sales in FY21 were digital. That's with the majority of PS4/PS5's being disc based models. The PlayStation platform being the outlier for digital sales in Japan doesn't line up with reality. 

in Japan?

the problem is, poisoned be a system seller, lack of hardware to sale. Second, limited the install base the game can´t take good legs. Third, big amounts of japan sales are hijacked by scalpers, so the number of Japanese install bases is lower. 

Out of Japan, it seems Steam is the main driver ( 44% of sales in Europe vs 27% on PS5, it seems, Europe is one of strongest sony market), and better availability of Series S make more positive for Microsoft benefiting from the Elder Ring system seller capacity.
