Japan has the lowest digital rate of the three major markets. You can't explain away their piss poor sales by pointing to digital. More over, Nintendo's digital sales aren't being taken into account either. Sony just isn't selling software. Sony stalwarts like Falcom wouldn't be shifting to Nintendo if the software sales were hidden by the lack of digital sales numbers. Sony's not having the rosy time you are portraying. If they were, they wouldn't be putting their games on PC. Which is going to lower the ceiling on the number Playstation consoles they can sell. And lower it with the consumers that have the most disposable income. Could be worse, they could be Microsoft. A company that lowered the ceiling of Xbox consoles sales by putting their games on PC and compounded their tomfoolery by training their remaining audience to not buy games and sign up for Gamepass. |
Surely you would know Sony has higher digital attach rate than Nintendo. PS5 is on track to sell around PS3 and PS4 number in Japan. They are still buying it to play games or are they just using it to play DVD? Whether it's the higher digital rate, the new ps plus subscription tiers or more f2p games it doesn't matter since Sony reported they are making record profits with the PS5. You all are acting like Japan is the world but when the generation end PS5 will still sell over a billion software units just like all previous Sony's home consoles
