Ps plus extra and premium should keep them busy

Plus doesn´t have any big increase. Japan is a heavy focus on the physical market. This movement and doesn´t have any increase, without the bundle, seems more scalping than consumers. 

Those on the ps plus essential can upgrade to extra or premium. Do we know how many upgraded to extra or premium? The people who upgraded to the higher tiers are definitely buying less games. I've only bought 1 game since I upgraded to extra.

Here we go again with "digital not being a thing in Japan". Gotta keep that agenda going strong.

Series-best opening for Xenoblade 3 and all three current gen systems posting excellent numbers, all things considered.

Four of the top ten are third party Switch titles.

Here we go again "digital is 90% of Ps5 market", without any indication of the same market, against low digital estimates by the white book.

Looks like the Nintendo Switch version of Nobunaga’s Ambition is holding on better than the PS4 version and will most likely surpass it.

Nintendo said digital has reached 56%, and Sony said digital has reached 79%. But I guess digital doesn't exist in Japan, you know the 2nd biggest video game market in the world. I guess this digital trend is a myth.

Worldwide is not japan.

We have data and estimates against this number in Japan.

The Japanese market will go digital but is not the majority yet. And the Ps5 people buying Ps4 games narrative be debunked too. 

It´s scalped abroad( some people say more than 30%), plus free game as services and low software sales.

Worldwide includes Japan. Give me proof. I would rather believe the console manufacturers themselves.
