Again... their "physical revenue" is misleading as it only counts 15% from 3rd party games and 65% from their own games. This number more closely resembles profits than revenue lol. Not to mention they are deliberately limiting physical game shipments.

And one more crucial point that no one talks about is that trading/sharing is never represented in any of these reports. Sony obviously sees trading as lost revenue. How much money/time people spend on traded or borrowed games is unknown...

 I don't understand where you are getting these numbers from or how you are deriving them.  

It's widely reported that platform holders make 15% from physical 3rd party sales. Sony's "physical revenue" only accounts for this 15% in addition to the 65%~ they make from physical 1st party.

On the other hand, their add-on and digital revenues count every dollar spent by the consumer, including the 70% cut that actually goes to the 3rd party publisher.

The actual "consumer spending" gap between physical and digital software is much smaller than it appears.
