The problem is that you start with the conclusion that digital in Japan is this massive unknown entity that accounts for the difference between Asian shipments and Japanese retail sales and go from there.

Including GoW and TLoU as examples of  top tier hits in Japan because they shipped 1 million in Asia doesn't make sense if you think about it from any point of view other than "must make Japanese PS4 software sales look good".

Not really. Its completely data based:

Japan PS4 sales >>>>> Rest of Asia PS4 sales. Unless there is evidence that RoA has some massive bias towards TLoU or GOW, the clear conclusion is digital sales are massive.

We already have info from Sony that digital average is 40%. We already have info from some games recently (P5R, 13 Sentinels, MHW) that show large digital sales. 

Digital being 40% wouldn’t put neither game near a million.

It wouldn't need to be near a million. 1 million is Japan + Asia.

He's off for a week, should come back soon: https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9110997

Funny how the week he missed has also been one of the most active ones for the thread in recent years.

AC will destroy Pokemon a this rate.



Long time since we saw these numbers, great AC



2 weeks ago i thought like Animal Crossing will not catch pokemon numbers.
But in the meantime it changed a lot, wow. I didnt expected these numbers.
