Digital sales have certainly increased on the Switch compared to the Wii U etc but compared to the Xbox One/PS4 it still lags quite far behind from my understanding.
Maybe but I'm sure relatively speaking digital sales on switch are very very good.

why? Switch is the best consoles to go digital, changing cartridges is Very annoying
32gb flash drive inside the Switch is one reason why it's not, meaning an SD card is all but required if you buy digital a lot. Also many of the type of games on the Switch generally have a lower digital % anyway. I'm sure there are other reasons too.

of course digital here is lower than on other consoles but I think 25-30% is not out of question
What numbers?
But GTS didn't chart at $79 lol.
GTS's price cuts have been the biggest, quickest, and then most frequent price cuts of a big franchise game I can ever remember. It was on sale for like 70% off within weeks. It absolutely bombed sales wise, hence the drastic price cuts.

I guess we just have different definitions of a "bomb". IMO if a game releases and they cut the price by > 50% within weeks, it bombed sales wise. That's why they dropped the price, because it bombed and they wanted more sales. Are the sales bomb-level now? I wouldn't say so, think it's around 3.5 million or so. That doesn't change the fact that it bombed on release at full price.I don't think anyone will disagree that the game has moved most of its units on sale. I can think of some other examples, such as Watch Dogs 2 (and plenty of other UBI titles) that went on sale quite quickly also.
However claiming that the game bombed because it went on sale is hardly a logical step. We could argue all day about whether the game would have sold X or Y millions if it had been sold at A or B price - but the fact is, the game has consistently moved units. To do that, there has to be demand - otherwise it would go into the bargain bin with a bunch of other games that never moved significant units. If the game moves millions of units and repeatedly goes on sale at a specific price range - that is less an indicator of bombing, and more of an indicator that the marketing and distribution teams found a price point that resonates. You can bet that if other devs (such as the Project Cars 2 team) thought that a price cut would move another few million, they would have done it - but the demand just isn't there. That's an actual bomb.
Well if all your friends only buy digital, then that's proof. So based on your experience would you say Switch digital is about 90%?You doubt wrong, as numbers show.
Honestly, all Switch owners I know had only one physical game, Zelda or Odyssey, because they bought it with the console. For some Labo was the second, because no digital version available.

Probably etching close to 1.5 million I would guessLoving the legs for God of War and Detroit. I'm really curious to see where the Detroit numbers are at worldwide

I'd love an update on God of War. I wonder how long it'll take to catch up with HZD and UC4.

Since you can't share digital games easily on switches and we have three switches in my family I've resorted to buying everything physically on the switch.why? Switch is the best console to go digital, changing cartridges is Very annoying, especially for games like this
Detroit: Become Human the latest in series of successful Sony releases. Sony's new sci-fi title sold 291,000 digital units at launch in May, a solid reception for a console-exclusive and new IP.
So 300k digital sales in 7 days worldwide? That's pretty great and would check out with the game selling over 1 million in 14 days with like an estimated digital ratio of 25-33% worldwide (idk if that's a realistic figure at all). But yeah how would SuperData exactly have the worldwide PSN numbers...I really don't know how they are supposed to estimate the downloads of a console game, but here is SuperData Research take about Detroit launch
That would be very nice. If the word of mouth holds it should have a good bump during the holidays too.
I would be extremely happy if this ends up around 5mil LT. well deserved imo
Do we know where UC4 is at now?

It came out right before Black Friday and games that released at a similar point also got cut too within weeks or are you saying Destiny 2 bombed? You also realize that the best selling GT, GT3, sold most while a greatest hit at $20? Typically the games have never had massive launches but sold steadily over time.I guess we just have different definitions of a "bomb". IMO if a game releases and they cut the price by > 50% within weeks, it bombed sales wise. That's why they dropped the price, because it bombed and they wanted more sales. Are the sales bomb-level now? I wouldn't say so, think it's around 3.5 million or so. That doesn't change the fact that it bombed on release at full price.
For a GT game it's an absolute bomb compared to all previous releases, but that's a different story.
According to the latest Kudosprime stats there are currently 4,453,200 user accounts. The last weekly update added 78,300 and was (I believe) at the start of the Days of Play promotion. Due to the way the stats are calculated they tend to underestimate actual users by 10-15%. Obviously you also have to take into account multiple accounts and used sales.I guess we just have different definitions of a "bomb".

Switch. It'll be close in the US and UK. Everywhere else? Switch will sell better.
I don't think it'll be close in the US between both versions.Switch. It'll be close in the US and UK. Everywhere else? Switch will sell better.
Probably not since Xbox hasn't done well with platformers and Nintendo's have so your probably right.
