I'm guessing there must be some misunderstanding with these tweets because he seems to be suggesting Switch digital ratio is 40% and Octopath sold 1M digitally only in 3 weeks.

I thought Octopath hit 1M total in around that time, not just digital.

Stock issues very likely drove people to digital with Ocotopath. At least there is that option in this day and age if the publisher plans small

Digital alone 1 million sold for octopath in 3 weeks. That's crazy. Game deserves it

Are we sure that Octopath statement is translated correctly? Because damn 1 million digital-only in 3 weeks is insane

The Octopath supply constraints were bad but 1m digital is nuts.

The general digital ratio of 40% is surprisingly high too.

I'm guessing the Octopath bit was more like "it sold 1 million units in 3 weeks thanks to high digital sales" rather than it doing so fully digital.

40% ratio for digital is nice. The myth that switch owners do not purchase software digitally needs to end.

Is that octopath data accurate? Seems kind of crazy, the game was undershipped so the digital attach rate should be high, but I think we heard that it reached 1M a few weeks after launch so it seems unlikely

Eh, with most software being digital only on Switch, 40% isnt' too impressive.
Nintendo should really push digital sales more

Apparently that's not what he meant, he meant 60% of their digital sales are digital copies of retail games, and 40% are eshop only games.

It's worded confusingly.

I'm almost certain it's an error. 1 million copies total in 3 weeks is still great, but I'm sure it includes physical.

If that 1 million in digital is accurate (which I'm dubious until clarified), that would make its July NPD top spot all the more impressive since it doesn't track digital.

doublechecked the octopath thing. the 1m shipped tweet was 3 weeks after game release

so yeah high chance the livetweet earlier is a mistake
