Abstract:
New data released by Alinea Analytics shows that many Sony games in recent years have still generated considerable revenue from physical version sales. The physical version revenue of "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" and "Ghost of Mount Yotei" both accounted for more than 30%.
Data shows that "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" has generated a cumulative revenue of approximately US$1.2 billion, of which nearly 35% came from disc sales. Calculated at this ratio, the physical version is still an important part of the revenue of the game.
The cumulative revenue of "Ghost of Mount Yotei" is approximately US$400 million, with the disc version contributing nearly 40%, and the physical version accounting for a higher proportion of revenue than "Marvel's Spider-Man 2".
Sony works such as "Space Robot", "Sword Star" and "Death Stranding 2: On the Shore" also show similar trends, but the available information does not list the specific physical version revenue proportions of these games.
Digital versions have now become the main way for many players to purchase games, and physical media as a whole is also in decline. However, the above data shows that there is still demand for physical versions in different regions. Sales of titles such as "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" and "Resident Evil: Requiem" have also been used to illustrate this phenomenon.
At the same time, it is reported that Sony plans to cancel the optical disc business starting in 2028. Existing revenue data contrasts with this arrangement: at least for many titles released in recent years, physical versions still contribute a non-negligible share of revenue.
