Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott estimated that Resident Evil: Requiem sold 1.3 million physical copies, which is estimated to contribute 15% of the game's total revenue and 30.2% of its revenue on PlayStation. Physical sales are estimated to generate 1.8 times more revenue on PlayStation than all Xbox sales combined, the report states.
In Japan, physical sales of PlayStation games like Pragmata and Onimusha: Way of the Sword accounted for 44% and 44.1% of sales respectively. Sony's discless PS5 Black launch in Japan, priced at $350, has sparked backlash over its shift toward digital distribution, despite strong physical sales for single-player titles.
