How would one track digital sales? o.o

One option could be using the power of mathematics and surveying.

On the PC, users could install a program that tracks what game you're playing, similar to how companies track who-watches-what on TV, people opt into having their viewing habbits recorded.

It's not impossible, but is it worth it?

No, since none of that is really reliable.

There is no 100% reliable method.
Heck this site doesn't track things 100% accurately, they use mathematics to get a decent-enough approximation.

But if you have better idea, I am all ears.

25% is way too high. I expect digital sales to be around 10-15%.

Digital? They have a hard enough time keeping track of retail...zing! I don't think the big 3 even release firm digital numbers, frankly.
