He is full xbot now. At this point, it is irrelevant what he is posting.
What sense has it to give these kind of percentages while including digital-only platforms?
Fat Pigscatella is at it again 
He's adding the total of everything including mobile, mtx and PC to downplay physical sales on Playstation and Switch.
He should make a pregnancy test with all of Phil's juice he swallowed.

I'm not sure what point he is trying to do lol
We are talking for over a decade that consumers are moving more and more to Digital.
That means Physical will have less revenue every year.
Add others digital only products like subscriptions and you will have a boom in digital revenue compared with physical revenue.
And to be fair that doesn't means nothing at all.
Except purchase are moving from physical to digital and today have more digital products than physical.

OP
OP
Ive been getting that feeling alot lately after the Xbox third party pivot.
not apples to apples.
Not everything is released on physical.
We saw on insomniac leaks, sony 1st party games ON RELEASE GET 60-70% of sales on physical disc.
Physical is a leading format for 1st party games.
It's just not leading for indie games and for online games.
because indie does not offer physical versions
and online games/gaas games also don't offer physical.

This guy seemed to be tasked with manipulating data to try and justify MS decisions and Xbox failures.
Fuck this guy, pathetic.

Sony reports the worldwide game sales split between all PS physical and digital game sales:
The split is around 75% digital - 25% physical (around 3.3+:1 difference), not the opposite.
The opposite (30% digital -70% physical) was around a decade ago, not now.
The percent of games sold that are digital has been growing over years.
This is the reason (plus extra costs of physical releases) several companies or games did stop physical releases.

How you can make argument about physical vs digital when games are not released physically?
Yes, Playstation's first party releases physically sold 60%-80% and 3rd party sold physically 35%-50%.
Providing overall data that doesn't separate digital only games and DLC from physical sales is shady as fuck.
That's @Yurinka (and Mat Pigsatella) for you. Digital only games and digital only platforms will naturally tilt the scales as it's the only way to consume the content.
I think you don't understand the chart. Look at the "digital %" in the right column, the "launch to date" "net sales (million dollars)":but what about this?
- FY2021 titles total: 59% digital (68% in America)
- FY2020 titles total: 43% digital (54% in America)
- Catalog (meaning, FY2019 or older including early PS4 games) titles total: 37% (52% in America)
The data I provided has "add-on content" reported separatedly, not included in what I quoted (dlc+microtransactions+passes+etc). Obviosly adding that to revenue (something I think souldn't be done, I think it's better to separate physical sales revenue/digital game sales revenue/add-ons revenue) sales would be even bigger.
If you hate reality and can't accept it, and insult who disagrees with you, you're the one full of shit. Not me.
I only share, accept and explain the available factual market data, independently if I like it or not.
In this case, worlwide physical/digital sales split for all PS games or for Sony games. And that includes digital only games, of course. Includes all the games, not only the ones you decide to cherry pick. And yes, over time in addition to have a pattern of percent of digital revenue/sales increasing, there's also an increase in amount of digital only games because these companies decided that the physical sales they may have don't compensate the extra costs of such physical release.

I lost faith in them once they stopped giving actual sales numbers and since then the manipulation and selectiveness has only gotten worse....
They do not put transparency first IMO.
