Oh oh! One more post! Would you believe that I'm 50/50 between digital and physical on Nintendo Switch? Oh gee that must mean I'm not all that into having my games physically. But wait! I buy a boatload of Indie games and don't own a single AAA game digitally on Switch. Indie games are much cheaper so why not count the money I spent on physical games for Switch vs the money I spent for digital games on Switch? After all, I bought all my Switch games brand new. Your average Indie costs me $10 because I only buy them on sale and have a discount system worked out to save me 30% off the sale price. Meanwhile, AAA Switch games cost me at least $60. I bought 80 physical Switch games so that's $4800. And I bought 80 digital Switch games so that's $800. So 16% of my spending for Switch was digital games. So aren't I 84% digital by that metric?

Anybody want to dive into Sony's stupid financials and do the math to see just how much PS5 consumers are really spending to buy physical games vs how much they spend to buy digital games? Not revenue that Sony takes in. How much they actually spend. After all we're working out consumer preferences not Sony preferences here.
