Japanese gamers still flock to physical games. 

Do they? https://allcorrectgames.com/insights/the-gaming-market-in-japan/

Maybe Wman1996 meant "when it comes to consoles"?

I could be wrong but I think outside of US, majority of the world still prefers physical which is why some games when release are like "physical EU, Asia/Japan, except digital in US". I know I bought a few Asian-English physical games cause they only released digital here which blows.
