For the digital ratio, you gotta take into account that this is the proportional rate for all sold software anyway and the lack of big releases that would usually favor the physical market have been absent this quarter, therefore not representive of the usual growth.

The presence of bigger software pieces during Q3 will probably even this out.

That's true though FY24 Q4 was also up in that regard compared to FY23 Q4 so the trend is still clear. The last ever quarter where the digital ratio is below 50% can't be far off now.

The trend is here, but my main point is the growth that occured this quarter is non-reprensatative of the usual trend.

Anyway, considering the gargantuan volume of software in physical alone this generation. Physical is not going anywhere for the next Switch sucessor.

Heck, they're even selling a physical option with Emio while the previous duo remakes had none appart from a limited collection. There's value in it.
