It is clear that digital games have become extremely lucrative for most video game companies with many seeing much higher digital game sales than physical game sales these days. In Nintendo’s case digital sales now account for roughly 50% of their sales, to be more specific digital sales accounted for 46% of all all software sold so far in in the current fiscal year. Here in the UK it was recently reported that digital sales account for nearly 90% of all video game sales in the biggest gaming market in Europe. There will always be a case for physical games for numerous reasons, but digital sales continue to climb. Nintendo also recently announced that Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers are back in North America for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, which will further push digital purchases.
