For physical copies, there is a set number of copies. Digital copies...no.
TS4 pre-orders that provides no incentives and allows you to play sooner...hmm. If that's what some like and are into. Continue to support the minimalist approach. :p
Yeah, fair. But physical copies still aren't as sought after as they were a decade ago, so I highly doubt anyone would have to pre-order to make sure they got one. If it is the case, however, then I guess that's a perk to pre-ordering.
Come to think of it, I've never seen a copy of The Sims 4 (or any of it's stuff, game or expansion packs) in actual stores. Like, in the three years it's been out I've genuinely never seen it on a shelf. That's kind of wild.
It could be true but I doubt digital would dramatically overwhelm physical purchases as many gamers still prefer disks.
According to these threads, there are reasons why someone might prefer physical disks over digital and vice versa.

Just because you have not seen physical copies of TS4 in your area doesn't equate to digital overwhelms physical versions by a landslide overall. The last time I went to GameStop, they had a display shelf full of TS4. Which doesn't mean much at all. Could be unpopular, some may prefer digital only, etc. Maybe next time I will ask about it out of curiosity.
Of course, I mostly play console games and I don't own TS4 so relating directly to TS4 specifically which is more popular among fans I don't know. But the debate of games in general Digital VS Physical I would guess both are almost equally purchased.
