And you want them to stop providing a format that people want... for what? lol you've got to be kidding me. People want physical media and you want them to stop supplying it because people just aren't fount to adopt it until these companies kill it artificially. That's just stupid. Why would anybody argue this? 

Honestly, I believe there will ALWAYS be a market for physical media. 

 

I don't want anything. You having physical doesn't effect my enjoyment of digital. I'm just looking at what Nintendo has been saying. They want to stop providing a physical format, and they have a good reason to. Physical doesn't make any sense with the type of platform they've gone on record saying they intend to make. Physical work at all with what they've described My Nintendo to be.

That last bit is flat out not happening. Once the XBO and PS4 are aged out and the NX proves all digital works for consoles, physical is 100% dead.

Having a unified platform doesn't mean that it HAS to be all digital. Nintendo does like offering digital, but if a lot of their consumers like physical, why wouldn't they supply that? And isn't Reggie on record saying that there will always be a place for physical format, or something to that effect? I think nintendo recognize that their fanbase especially likes physical products.

And as for that last bit, we will just have to wait and see. Music has been digital for years, but they still sell physical CDs. I can see games being handled in a similar way. People will always like physical products, and I can see why.
