Yep plus covid really helped push digital over here.

I'll stay physical for as long as I can.
 
I only bought Forza Horizon 3 and Horizon FW physical last year. The other nearly 50 games were digital on the X. Finally having internet where I'm not restricted to 20GB per month got me out of the mandatory physical game purchases.

Don't know what Jez read but at no point has it been said UK was 90% digital sales. Just definitely taken over physical.
 


Just shut of $3 billion was spent on physical games products in Japan last year.

That's according to Famitsu's annual report, which revealed that total sales on boxed games and hardware amounted to ¥374.8 billion ($2.9 billion) from December 27, 2021 to December 25, 2022.

It marks a 4% increase on the ¥361.4 billion ($2.8 billion) spent at Japanese retail in 2021.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were the best-selling games of the year. Counted as a single title, the pair shifted a combined four million between their November 18 launch and December 25.

Splatoon 3 came in second place with 3.7 million boxed copies shifted since it debuted in September.

Pokémon benefitted from a surge of sales in December. When we reported Japan's best-selling games of the year up to December 4 in our annual Year In Numbers infographic, Splatoon was ahead of Violet and Scarlet.

This morning we reported Pokémon Violet was the 14th biggest selling game in Europe last year, with Scarlet at No.16. Coincidentally, Violet also took No.14 in the UK 2022 charts, with Scarlet at No.17.

Had either chart combined the pair, as Famitsu does, they would have appeared higher.

Unsurprisingly, Nintendo Switch was the best-selling hardware of the year in Japan, shifting 4.8 million units. So far, it has sold 27.7 million units in its home market since launching in March 2017.

Even less surprisingly, nine out of the top ten games of the year were for Switch – with seven published by Nintendo (Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Pokémon Legends: Arceus are published by The Pokémon Company in Japan).

The only exception was Elden Ring, with the PS4 version coming in tenth place.

PlayStation 5 was the second biggest selling console with 1.2 million units sold, pushing lifetime sales to 2.4 million.

Xbox Series X|S had a solid year, shifting 269,737 units in 2022. Given that its lifetime sales are now 398,395, this means Microsoft's console sold more than double the number it managed in its first year.

They need to let the ps4 rest so first party devs can make true next gen games. Sadly we got maybe two or three years left of cros gen games

Over half of PlayStation owners don’t truely care about COD, even if they have access on pc?

But even such a partial lockdown scenario might be unlikely, if a low number of players are willing to migrate from PlayStation to Xbox as a result of the lockdown. In this sense, the results of the Survey – implemented by this Division to Chilean video game consumers – shed light on the willingness of players to change their device, given the supposed unavailability of Call of Duty on Sony consoles. The data from the Survey shows that 61% of console players, faced with a scenario of unavailability of Call of Duty, would opt for a different video game, and only 20% would opt to switch to another device.

Does not say anywhere what the sales numbers are... But not surprised it's #1, nothing else notable came out with as big a name as Forza.
