According to this:

They made about $953 million from physical in the fiscal year ending March 2025. If physical revenue only takes into account their cut (which is 15%, not 30%), this means people actually paid around $6.3 billion for physical, which is virtually tied with digital (not counting mtx, dlc, subscription etc).

Wouldn't Sony's revenue from digital game sales (nothing else) be $6.5 billion+- (if my calculations are correct)? That would mean that people paid significantly more for digital than they did for physical 

For FY 2024 (ending March 2025), digital revenue is $6.35~ billion per this article. They had digital software revenue at 20% from the total, and the total was $31.77 billion.

31.77 x 0.2 = 6.354
