Physical copies on the Switch run as soon as you put them in the Switch with a few updates, but on Xbox and PS4 the disc is just a license, the game doesn't run off the disc, you have to download the full game, and keep the disc inside to play, complete inconvenience when you can just buy digital and ignore having to put a new disc in every time you want to play a different game. |
I think the game still installs from the disc, so it doesn't necessarily download it. I do think that there are pros and cons, the pros is that the disc tray will last longer, the con is that you run out of hard drive space more quickly than say for the Switch. However, even if disc swapping is a minor inconvenience, it's one I'm willing to put up with, I love just admiring and looking at the game cases personally, reading through the back of the case (and if there is one the manual) along with smelling that new game smell!
