Of course physical sales in the UK were down, most places where you could physically buy games either shut down entirely and stopped stocking games. I would imagine the latter in particular hit a lot of people. I suspect a lot of far more numerous casual crowd got there games in places like supermarkets alongside their weekly shop. That's no longer possible, so they switched to the only "easy" option made available to them.... digital.
I'll never go digital on consoles. I like to own the things I buy.
Weirdly I've been able to add it to my cart just now and get all the way through the checkout. When I refreshed the page the button was briefly available to Order before greying out and changing to out of stock. I did get the order confirmation but Nintendo have taken exactly £0.00 out of my bank so I doubt this will result in an order being actually fulfilled.
