Physical disc sales for Resident Evil Requiem skew heavily toward PS5

Rhys Elliott, an analyst at Alinea Analytics, notes that 30 percent of the total revenue for Requiem on PS5 originated from disc sales. This figure underscores two persistent market realities: high-budget single-player experiences remain tethered to physical copies, and Japan continues to function as a uniquely disc-centric territory. As publishers move to phase out physical production, these findings suggest that a substantial segment of the core audience remains resistant to an exclusively digital ecosystem.
