1 million - ~180K (from Japan) = 820K

Let's say 40% of the sales are in the US and 60% ROTW

~328K in the US

Is it fair to estimate 10-30% of total sales in the US are PSN sales? If so, PSN sales in the US 32.8K
So retail sales in the US would be 229.6K

I doubt digital sales are that high. Japan, from what I know, is more digital than the West and their sales are approx. 10-20% based on Famitsu data.

I have always heard Japan is way less digital than the west. Actually, you're the first one that I have heard claiming that Japan is more digital than the west.

I could be completely wrong, but I thought this gen Japan was more digital-centric.



MS should've released the MCC bundle back in november, would've been huge.



I'll guess Bloodborne is probably 250-350k in the US.

I remember some members on GAF saying that Japan is definitely not digital centric and that westerners are much more likely to buy digital (just look at Steam sales, for example). Remember, Japanese players get very high resale value on their games 1-2 weeks after release (I believe rental is prohibited there, so players just buy the game, beat it in a week or two, and then sell it back).

You're probably right then, but 30% does seem high to me.
