Digimon's primary platform has been Playstation since PS1 days.

Bandai Namco favors Playstation moreso when it comes to their Anime franchises.

Yeah and for Capcom PS was also the main platform but it is PC now.

Also sales in Japan doesn't scream main platform.

6th [PS5] Digimon Story: Time Stranger
23,779 (New) total 23,779 / Bandai Namco Entertainment / October 2, 2025

Digimon Story: Time Stranger pre-orders exceed Bandai Namco’s expectations, physical copies to be scarce at launch  - AUTOMATON WEST

Namco already made a statement that pre-orders were higher than expected for physical and stock was sold out. They will do a restock but for now it probably drove an even higher attach rate for PS5 digital because of this. 

And that's great for Capcom on the PC side but it doesn't stand for every publisher. Capcom even called Monster Hunter Wilds main platform the PS5 initially and well we all know the bad optimization that crippled the sales on that game on all platforms. Still though, without any PC Japan sales data you can't really refute BasilZero's claim at this time, especially with the above info.
