Physical when possible. Little downside and some potential resale value down the line. Faster installs, even accounting for updates. Sometimes less space taken up on a device that should really have more than it does.
Until they start discounting digital over physical, why wouldn't you?
Most of my digital purchases were because there were discounts on digital that were not offered for physical
I'm going to venture a guess that might be why nintendo swith has a substantially larger physical percentage than the other platforms. Both forms are always at price parity since nintendo doesn't do discounts.
I couldn't make out if these percentages are by count of copies, or by dollars. Every time I grab a "free" playstation plus title, does that count toward the digital sales figure? Maybe xbox and playstation are heavily padding their digital sales figures by including "purchases" for licenses included in their respective subscription services?
In the article, there is the metology about the counting. gamepass, and ps+ title weren't count. As well as digitial only release are not in the statistic. The eu one just count AA and AAA games.
