Gran Turismo 7 Tops UK Physical Sales Charts​

Despite only launching on March 4, Gran Turismo 7 has hit the top of the UK physical games sales charts for the week ending March 6...

I think one big reason the physical PS5 versions are outnumbering so much is that the anniversary edition contains a physical copy of the PS5 version and digital of the PS4 one. Will be interesting to see the digital data soon

I usually always buy digital but with GT7 i went with physical because it was 12€ cheaper.

I suspect that the 2:1 split towards digital may be exceeded in this instance; if you wanted the game at launch, the digital pre-order was much more of a certain option than ordering online and hoping it arrives in Friday's post, and more convenient than trying to go to a games shop before or after work on Friday.

I can see that the market overall would still have people buying physical discs, especially where they're cheaper, but for launch sales I feel the digital option may be even more than two thirds of the total.
