Sega states that the ratio of digital sales is increasing in the market overall [likely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic]. Even if physical sales numbers decrease, profits will still increase if digital sales compensate for the same number of units that would normally be sold.Also, in the "Persona" series, "Persona 5 Royal" began selling in the U.S. and Europe on March 31st, achieving record sales.
