Those numbers I think are just full game revenue. DLC for a physical buyer and DLC for a digital buyer still goes into the add-on content.
I am very confused by your point but its been a long day at work.
It is a confusing point I'm making so it's not your fault. These days there seems to be a new war coming. The Pro-physical media clan vs. the Anti-Physical media clan. So far almost everyone is Pro-Digital Media, so that's not the issue. So here's my beef!
1. Gamer Person 1 buys a Call of Duty Vanguard from within BestBuy on a physical disc for $70.
2. Gamer Person 2 buys Call of Duty Vanguard from the Playstation Store directly from their console (for $70) and downloads it.
3. Gamer Person 1 then buys $50 worth of DLC for COD Vanguard over the next 6 months.
4. Gamer Person 2 also buys $50 worth of DLC for COD Vanguard over the next 6 months.
If you ONLY looked at digital purchase money spent by these two gamers, it'll show that these two gamers spent $170 on digital purchases. And it'll show that only $70 was spent of physical media. A day later if you give this data to people on Twitter, GAF, or any social site where people are talking about games they'll say that digital purchases for COD Vanguard is more than double that of physical media sales. And while that's technically true.......it doesn't say gamers don't want to buy games on some form of physical media, because nobody sells DLC on a disc in a store anymore. That chart above from Sony is a perfect example of this.
Bottom line, some people don't understand what they are reading so it leads them to bad opinions on the gaming market place.
