Thank God people have eyes. 41% lower than Archeus in physical in the UK. S2 is 51% of launch sales.

It just doesn't look as appealing. Its still likely to benefit as the main "holiday" title so it may have better legs in that market.

Part of the differential will be that physical makes up a smaller portion of game sales now than it did when Arceus came out nearly 4 years ago.

Hopefully we get numbers from Nintendo before their Q3 report in February.

I've got a running theory that people who really love physical copies are avoiding the Switch 2.  I can say, personally, that I really like having a physical copy of games, and I also have no interest in the Switch 2 at the moment.  Game Key Cards are major deal breaker for me.

I expect a large digital:physical ratio on the SW2 version.
