The physical data is pretty interesting with just how massive of a drop there has been the past few years. I wonder what caused physical units to fall off a cliff from 2022-2025 after declining a lot more gradually from 2017-2021.

In late 2020 new games went from $60 to $70. 2020 and 2021 probably still had majority previous generation and price. 

I doubt that's much of a factor since it's not like new game sales in general had a sharp decline.
