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.

Yeah of course I forgot to mention. No Xbox consoles or games on sale. The big stores in Akihabara have everything. But the small stores in the outskirts are giving up selling physical games.

Is why COMG! in Niigata essentially gave up their tracking of physical sales.

Probably I'm old fashioned, but I always thought having a good retail presence in games is also good advertising for the Console. 

Going into a store and see rows and rows of e.g. Console A games vs. a Small section of Console B games, gives the impression Console A has more support. So I would choose the Console A over Console B.

Me thinks having a small retail presence for games or not at all, hurts Console sales. But again, perhaps I'm just old fashioned.
