Sony's move away from physical games has been the source of much criticism, but the gaming giant has remained insistent that the move is the correct one, arguing that the majority of game sales are digital. However, some of the pushback against this idea hinged on the fact that the smaller markets often depended on access to physical games media due to restricted internet access. Recently, Christopher Dring, Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of The Game Business published some statistics from Ampere relating to sales of Capcom's latest hit, Resident Evil: Requiem.

While physical sales were expectedly low in the US, at just 22% of total sales, where internet penetration is relatively high, in France, physical sales accounted for as much as 55% of the sales of Resident Evil: Requiem. Similarly, in Japan and Australia, physical sales topped 51% and 43% respectively. Meanwhile, in the UK, physical sales of Requiem were as high as 40%. It's notable that Requiem, a AAA game from a long-standing franchise, raked in so many physical sales, since its total sales volume has long since exceeded 6 million units.
