More to it than that though.  Retailers get the double wallet penetration with none of these being able to be sold on the second hand market (Looking at you Gamestop).  

While the publishers do get something extra out of this...no used sales.  

That doesn't make any sense. A huge amount of a game's sale goes to the manufacturer, and another enormous amount goes to the retailer. Both of those factors are simply gone with digital. Are the big companies snatching up all that extra profit for themselves?

negligible,i was hoping digi would be getting cheaper for us downloaders

The feeling of the stacked box, man.

Seconded. Don't make me take my earrings out.

That you have to clean up from time to time, and have be carefull to not lost it,  or your mother throw away, or forgot in someone's place, that fall every time that you have to pick one in the bottom, that you need to get a bigger and bigger shelf at some point or another. The only reason to go physical for me is to sell the game later and use to buy more games. And guess what? capcom don't care about the people who want to sell their games used.

I might be wrong here but from what I'm inferring, Capcom is saying is that profitability between digital sales and retail sales is negligible. I don't think it necessarily means that the profit from a single digital sale is the same as the profit from a single retail sale. It is obvious that there will be more retail sales than digital sales so if they were to total up the profits from both sales, profitability between retail sales and digital sales might be more or less the same (even though retail sales are higher) hence negligible.

I'd be happy for someone to correct me if I am indeed wrong.

15 to 25 from a boxed copy that costs 40-60 which might be shared with a publisher.

or

10 to 21 on a title that costs 15-30 digitally. I guess those digital day ones are really profitable at 42 in profit. You can also bypass a publisher in many cases getting more out of the pie. There is also less fuss about getting a product on shelves which costs money itself. Does anyone know what the publisher developer margin would be on PSN,XBL, eShop? I just assume 70/30 split like Android and iOS. If that is the case it really seems like for developers specifically digital is the way to go. Less hassle more porfits lol.

With digital there is the 'benefit' of no used games, but in my experience you can't find used games from good devs so it's kind of a moot point.

Could be right but they really left it Open for discussion. This could be the case, considering that used games don't play a role in killing profit. They might enter that in a loses as well. Not sure. It's way to vague of a statement.

If they were talking about net profits for all downloads vs for all physical channel sales, they would have stated "profits", not "profitability".
