Nintendo's 3.5m figure for Japan means that S3 sold around 1.6m digital. 

And people say Japan isn't going towards digital like the rest of the world.

What I see people saying: Japan is not towards digital NOW, the standard exception is when the physical games run out and people buy digital because they don´t find physical ( 40-50 % at best) and this is the case of Splatoon 3.

Japan is growing in digital because the major forces here pivoting, by brute force, to the digital market. But not dominant, like the ones here try to picture. UK digital is dominant, Japan is not. Retail presence it´s the core of the ecosystem in Japan. The used market is too strong ( it´s losing space, but it´s strong yet).
