Worldwide includes Japan. Give me proof. I would rather believe the console manufacturers themselves.

So I will give u guys the data. (JP) 

Nintendo Switch Sports - Physical ~500,000    Digital ~400,000    Total ~900,000      Digital ~45%

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Physical ~760,000       Digital ~500,000    Total 1,260,000      Digital ~40%

This is the Switch which we can assume has the lowest digital ratio out of the Big 3 and in Japan which we can also assume has the lowest digital ratio of any region. There is definitely a digital trend, and the number proves that. I just chose the newest ones for data, I also noticed battle league sold ~2 million Worldwide in just 12 days

Some digital in Japan are bigger ( 30-45%), because of two factors

The voucher and physical versions sold out.

The problem is treating the anomaly like the norm. 

Yes, digital adoption is growing in Japan, but not predominant because of the health of the used market and prices dinamics in Japanese market.
