I dont think we have UK PS5 sales numbers, and we certainly dont have Series console UK numbers, but i would guess PS5 is ahead at the moment, which would mean sales siding more with PS5 anyway.
Then take into account that XSS sales are what?, 40% total Series sales i think the financials said, and there was a thread on here a while ago saying that the the PS5 split between physical consoles and the digital consoles was 90/10 if i remember right as I guess Sony are making more money on the physical console so are making way more of them.
Then add in the fact that i would GUESS that the vast majority of people who bought a Series console also signed up for Gamepass, meaning that Xbox Series owners are probably way more settled in the digital sales market than PS5 where the majority of its sales have been the disk console.
Put it all together and i dont really see why any of this news is surprising.
I mean Playstation users were already at 71% digital a year ago or whenever that article eas dated, and are probably pushing 75% digitsl today, if not more. I wouldnt be surprised if Xbox users are 85% digital, maybe even 90% for the Series Xbox users anyway due to the high split of XSS owners, and probably Gamepass subscribers that have acclimatized many Xbox users to digital over the last 2 or 3 years.
I mean we will see it in a few months when we get 'bad' Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite physical numbers, and then Microsoft will come out with their 5mil users, then 10mil users, etc, and on here we will get pages of posts like 'How can they have 10mil users when da UK physical thread showed da games only sold 5 copies!,. how can this beeeee!?!?!'
