No, retailers aren't gonna stop selling consoles just because the industry will go predominantly digital. We arent in the era of PSP go.
Instead of physical games, they will sell cash cards (just like app store/google play), digital download codes, online memberships, controllers, accessories, etc, and even in game items like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Warner-Bros-Fortnite-Freeze-PlayStation/dp/B07JD2HVJL
https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2018/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar
look at this, 8 of the top 15 bestsellers of 2018 are gift cards/memberships. and the rest are consoles, controllers, and accessories, with only two being physical games.
So yeah, no video game crash is about to happen.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
