Yeah I still play my old consoles like my SNES and N64, so I certainly plan to be revisiting my Switch in another 20 years time, and I would like it if itand my games collection lasted til then, with proper care.

One small issue with that theory, Cartridges dont last forever where as Digital Media has no life span. I have 100s of cartridges from the NES, SNES and N64 and not all of them work due to them being worn out and deteriorating over time.

My Super Mario Kart on the SNES, internal Battery has died and no longer keeps saved files :(

Digital doesnt lose save files or wears over time so there are some very good benefits with it. Its why i love Steam, all my games from 15 years ago all still work and function only better due to updates etc.

Switch's internal storage and SD cards won't last forever either, and with digital I can't lend the game to someone, etc.
