Are physical games eventually going to die?

[Zippy6]

Eventually but consoles dropping physical completely in the next few years is a mistake. It's not the time yet. If the leaked xbox model does not have a usb-c disk drive option and they do go ahead with completely dropping physical for Xbox it would be a mistake. Digital-only models are one thing, having no physical option at all is entirely different.

I think even in 2028 for next-gen there would still be a big enough backlash for completely dropping Physical to make it problematic, but we'll see where the digital ratio's are by that point.

You don't want to be the first console manufacturer dropping physical games or risk repeating a situation to the horrific PR MS got near the launch of the Xbox One.
