Via Gamasutra. Seems digital is and has been even bigger than we though in recent years.
Some pretty crazy info here. Seems the gaming industry is actually even stronger than we thought, off of the back of strong digital market.

According to NPD, these discrepancies came from a lack of information on digital game and DLC sales in past years. For example, the 2016 report said that 44 percent of all consumer game spending was on physical versions of games in 2015. This year's report now says that only 31 percent of game sales were physical in that same year.
As a result, 2015 consumer spending was previously reported as $16.5 billion, rather than the $23.2 billion indicated by current data. Those discrepancies go back as far as 2010 and range between 2 percent and 40 percent changes.
