Its more than that. 82% of PS5s sold are the ones with a disc drive. Even the 18% digital consoles arent even accurate since people buy the disc drive add-on. So it could be like 10% of all PS5 owners have a digital only console. Thats like 9-10 million gamers.

Wouldn't this suggest that users with a disc version of the PS5 are also buying, perhaps exclusively, digital games? Just because someone has a disc PS5 doesn't mean that their buying habits haven't changed as the gen has gone on. 22% of all game units being physical is like a complete reversal of what it was around 10 years ago.

Sure, but it could also mean that they like having the option to buy physical games or borrow games from friends. If 78% of gamers on Playstation are truly digital only, then why are most gamers still to this day buying the more expensive disc version?
