If there is no greater compliment than copying, then even Sony and Microsoft talking of a disc-free future in the next gen proves Nintendo was right.

Why? Switch has a mix of retail and digital games... just like PS4, PS3, Vita, PSP, Wii U, Wii, 3DS, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

Sorry, I continued editing. If you look at third party results on mobile it's clear. EA Digital growth is up 20% yoy.

Of course they have a retail presence. Nintendo out of all the main brands, obviously needs retail (Gamestop too), especially during the holidays, but the actual value of that retail content is changing as better (critically) and more popular games come out digitally.

You now see people asking why Independent games shouldn't be competing for GOTY Awards. Well, why should't they?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
