Apparently worldwide, digital accounts for 62-63% of quarterly game sales on PS5.
If Japan is similar, that would mean these physical sales are 37-38% of the total sales picture.

On Switch it's close to 50-50.

Looks like it varies a lot by quarter, with this Q4 being about the same as Q4 2019 before the PS5 even came out, yet the PS4 still had better physical sales than this, so I still don't see how digital alone can account for PS5's lack of presence in the physical charts.
