| Otter said: In the UK it was 13% S2 at retail versus 81% PS5, 6 percent Xbox. Including digital probably Xbox and Switch 2 are closer, pretty good showing. Both Japan and US will have a higher Nintendo ratio, so amongst consoles I'd suspect S2 is around 20% figure (digital+physical) |
Thinking more about this, probably 20% is too high for Switch 2 globally but It'll be interesting to see how it performs in Japan
I don’t tend to call out UK physical sales platform breakdowns, because the digital/physical split by platform is widely different.

Switch 2 games are mostly sold physically in the UK. PS5 games can be 45% physical. Whereas Xbox can be as low as 15/20% physical. https://t.co/zWLQNESoM0
