100% physical, I never owned a digital-only console and I never will buy one. Should the future be digital-only, I will continue to play only on retro-consoles. I love to collect games (actually, with no intention to sell them), I love to own games (which you can't digitally) and I like to bring them to my friends. I have good hope that physical will not go away, after all we still can buy music CD's (even vinyl) and film DVD's and Blu-rays/Ultra HD Blu-rays. Music and film have the advantage that there are many different suppliers offering players, however, for gaming we have only the big 3, once this big 3 decide to go digital-only, there will be no other supplier offering a console playing physical media. However, at least Nintendo will remain physical. I was so happy to read their last Corporate Management Policy Briefing, released on September 16 (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/events/index.html). In their future outlook for long-term initiatives (starting on page 43) they explicitly commit themselves to physical media (page 50).
