Yeah, I get that studios get a larger cut from physical and that DMM extorts 70%, but how do the total number of sales compare between physical and digital channels (roughly).

In response to Fried Chikan's comment

For me the answer to part 2 of your question is 'physical sales'. I am a big fan of Yui Hatano and maybe 1 or 2 movies were noteworthy enough for me to buy a physical copy (as opposed to the usual buying of a digital movie). But again, I am a Western user, no idea what the split between physical and digital is in Japan.

I can't help but wonder what is the volume of physical sales compared to digital ones. As a fan of Yui Hatano and AIKA, I am not that concerned because they both do well in the digital sales department. My guess is that the actual DVD is more of a souvenir / collector's item to be bought if the limited edition content is good. As for Yui Hatano and AIKA, their physical content is rarely good and why would I buy a DVD when I can get a higher quality digital download for a cheaper price. (Blu-Rays still seem to be one offs and generally they rarely have any limited edition content).

It makes sense for them to unlock the blocked markets first. My feeling is that with a slight renaming, most of that content would be good anyways. I wish I could transfer my collection over to DMM, as given the state of R18 I think I'd rather use that, but I can't be bothered to navigate two websites/players, when they literally share the same backend.

It's a travesty that the entire 'Jailbreaker' series got delisted from R18, hope it gets reinstated soon. Btw, has anyone from your team heard anything re: timelines for restoring the 'OK' portion of the delisted stuff?
