This is it, really. On PS4, I'm having a hard time justifying buying physical when it really seems to not actually do anything for me. I bought FF15 physically and it still eats 80GB of my harddrive. That's just ridiculous.
For Switch, I haven't encountered that problem at all, and I don't have to download gigantic patches that take half an hour whenever I want to start playing my new game (and I have a really fast connection), so I'm much more inclined to buy physical there.
The reason Digital is taking over from Physical is because console manufacturers at large have gone out of their way to make Physical extremely undesirable with little advantages, despite it clearly being the consumer-preferred choice.
