Capcom, the Japanese gaming giant, has seen a dramatic shift towards digital game sales. Over the past four quarters, digital sales have accounted for over 90% of their total unit sales, a trend fueled by aggressive discounting strategies. While physical sales remain important, Capcom’s reliance on digital platforms is undeniable.
Sony’s latest financial report reveals a mixed bag for PlayStation 5, with sales declining compared to last year but overall revenues for the Game & Network Services division rising. This is largely due to the growing popularity of digital game sales, with 80% of PlayStation games sold digitally.
Capcom, a leading Japanese game publisher, has stated it will continue producing physical disc-based games despite the rise of digital sales. While digital sales now make up 93% of Capcom’s revenue, the company recognizes the importance of physical media to a significant portion of gamers.
