Haha does everyone in here still buy CDs and DVD/BluRays?

Yep.


CDs-Blu-Ray discs for movies or music are easier to stay for decades together with streaming services because you don't need a specific hardware to run a BD movie, any BD player regardless of its brand will run it, because the coding is standardized.

The same cannot  be said for consoles, a PS4-XONE game will only run on PS4-XONE. if Sony or MS decides at some point to get rid of their phisical consoles to welcome the cloud, each company will design its own cloud architecture and each game will need to be coded to each system. No  other manufacturer can simply build a device to run a Sony-MS game phisically. It's only up to Sony-MS.

With that said, only PC can remain with both phisical and cloud systems because the PC hardware manufacturers work in a way the coding can be standardized towards Windows - Mac.

Emulation. ;)
