Music and movies cost less to distribute via physical medium and the hardware to play the medium is prominent and also cheap.

Games have larger distribution fees to create the physical media relative to music/movies plus there is a larger impact on the devices (consoles) that must add a drive that uses power and limits design.

I see a great possibility of having all digital console platforms post-PS4/XB1; maybe even as redesigns of these consoles as their "slim" versions. I don't think Nintendo will do that with NX, but likely after NX as well.


Patents say Nintendo will do it with NX. The platform they're talking about, one that's meant to emulate the to most prominant digital platforms of the common era, doesn't work without being all digital, no matter how much people whine and complain that it can.

Nintendo patents suggest no CD media but that doesn't mean it won't have cart based media.
