I thought this was a really interesting article and wants to get everyone’s thoughts. A lot of this confirmed what I already knew: the physical games ecosystem seems healthiest on Nintendo Switch, with PlayStation and Xbox heading in the same direction, and Xbox being the most “digital” platform of the big 3. 

I think I am OK with physical becoming a relative niche way of buying games, so long as the option is always there. I buy blu ray movies occasionally, and I buy physical games occasionally, and I hope that option is always there.
