agreed but not on nintendo handhelds. Nint gamers havent been groomed enough to migrate on to digital media, even on their previous handheld they relied on physical.. switch will be the first console to start the proper transistion, but not jump start it coz of low internal memory and high prices of UHS MicroSD cards. It will gain traction but as soon as the prices per gb comes down and 512 gb is available at the price of a normal HDD.  

I mean what other handhelds are there? The only other would be the the PS Vita, and in comparison to those horribly expensive memory cards I wouldn't call that more ideal for digital games. Standard memory cards are pretty cheap in comparison, you can get a 200gb micro sd card for $85.

Although I get that memory card prices are still pretty high right now especially compared to the price of a normal HDD, but we've definitley seen a decrease in price over the years and that will sure to continue. But we are still far from going all digital in the gaming industry.

I was talking about casual gamers.. tablets and mobile phones. and yes vita biggest reason for failure has been its memory card, but that was back in 2012 and in 2017 switch is in the same position. the only difference being is that Sd card prices will surely come down and nintendo eshop will get better, but its not now. Hence my point remains, untill the sd card prices come down zelda will be a physical game.. compared to horizon zero dawn.
