The newest Momotaro was announced as passing 1.5 million shipped + digital this week, while it's at 1.2 million physically on this week's charts, which gives it a digital ratio of around 20%, not covering copies of shelves.

Likely a ton of copies on shelves for that type of game.

Honestly though. I was in Tokyo for a bit this past weekend and I went to a small store. I went to the game section and they were selling Switch and PS5. But what surprised me most was that they weren't selling any PS5 games. Only a small selection of Switch games too. Digital future is still increasing.

IIRC Momotaro a board game type deal so it's physical ratio is probably a lot higher than average.

With how low physical sales are on PS5 I can see smaller stores not bothering, similar to reports of places in Europe no longer carrying Xbox games.
