XBOX has even less physical sales than PlayStation. I think they were at over 90% digital even few years back. Even the games they release, (some of these?) are "unofficial Game Key Cards", with disc only containing few MBs of data, rest of all is downloaded.

This is not an anti-XBOX comment, just saying they when talking about these 3 consoles, they care the least about physical media.
