It is known that in recent years Digital media has become more mainstream. Because of console game sales in 2023, more than 83% of game sales will be digital downloads. But it looks like the PlayStation console is bucking the trend, with physical sales reported to be well above market averages.
There is information that game fans buy up to 50% of PlayStation’s 1st Party games in physical form. This information matches the news leaked from Insomniac Games’ hack, which states that game sales on PlayStation come from physical game sales.
For example, ‘God of War Ragnarok’ was announced to have sold 15 million copies, putting the estimated physical sales of the game at 8 million, and it is said that the majority of digital sales were for the PS5 version.
As for the famous game ‘The Last of Us Part 2’, it has sold more than 10 million copies, of which 6.3 million were sold digitally, meaning 40% were sold in physical copies. It’s understandable because the game was released in 2020, when the Covid-19 outbreak was at its worst, making it more difficult to buy a game disc than a download.
And sales of the game ‘Ghost of Tsushima’ tend to follow the same trend. Because there is information that almost 50% of sales are sales from game discs. Previously, Sony opened a new game disc factory in Brazil. In order to produce game discs for sale in South America. This means that Sony will continue to prioritize physical game sales where they are still being marketed.
