There are some others cool data...

Of the overall sell-through data of WD, PC represented 10-12% - of which 70% were digital.
PS4\XB1 digital share of is 10%, with the XB1 being a bit more than 10% and the PS4 a bit less than 10%.

The digital share for 360\PS3 is only 3 to 5%.

Digital copies are bought more in the US than in Europe.

More physical-digital ratios:

Valiant Hearts - 50-50
Child of Light - 75% digital, 25% physical.

Watch Dogs sales: 2\3 on next-gen+PC , 1\3 on 360&PS3.

"Digital copies are bought more in the US than in Europe."

Yeah, because the prices are a rip-off in Europe

There really is no denying how strong the PlayStation brand is and how much it bounced back from where it was even 5 years ago. Good to see that Ubisoft is doing well even though I think Watch Dogs was a disappointment. Hopefully they learn from the backlash of Watch Dogs for their next game.

They aren't the best in America either.

Still much better. The digital prices are literally a lot higher than the retail ones at launch. Certainly in the UK.
