I'm nearing 1000 games in my physical collection. Plenty of great games not well-known have never been ported to anything else. Physical or digital. I have physical games you can no longer buy digitally. Xenoblade X for example. Then odd things like sure you can play Ocarina on Switch but can you play the original unedited release? Mine had red blood and different music in the fire temple. My copy of Mario 64 has Mario saying So Long Eh Bowser. NFL Blitz re-release removed tackles after a play. The best version of Sonic Adventure is still only on Dreamcast. Every port has been the terrible Gamecube revision. Emulation exists but it's a copy of a copy so sometimes it sucks and still missing a lot of games. Some good games can't be resold due to licenses. Glad I can still play WWF No Mercy. Wolf Fang. Bulk Slash.
FPGA clone consoles are becoming more common so even if older consoles start becoming really hard to find. Still hardware options for a lot of consoles and more are coming.
