Why do Disk Drives matter?

I've posted tons of facts and data.  You have ignored it at every turn. 

Fact: over a billion people stream music.  

Fact: Switch digital sales grew 21%.

Fact: 89% of UK game sales are digital 

At the end of the day my position is a prediction 20 years from now.  I can't be proven right or wrong. 

So we agree to disagree and just remember this discussion when the switch 3 is announced.

The reason why I don't humor these facts is because they don't support the argument you made. It won't matter how big digital becomes if it can't achieve 100% of the pie, because that's the argument you made.

When sales of physical music are stable right now after about two decades of decline, then it means that physical music is here to stay. It's irrelevant how many people stream music when the sales data shows that people still buy physical media and will continue to do so.

When Switch digital sales grow, but the majority of games that are available in both physical and digital format still have physical as the dominant format, then we are a long way off from an all-digital future. And when not even music with its ridiculously low prices of admission can achieve all-digital, what are the chances for video games to pull it off.

When 89% of UK game sales are digital, why would this matter when Nintendo won't go all-digital. As long as Nintendo sells physical copies, your claim is bound to be false.

When you fall back on "this is way in the future, so I can't be proven right or wrong", then logically this would apply the other way as well. Which means that you definitely owe me an apology for all of your condescending behavior, because it is now your stance that you are unable to prove me wrong. Mind you, I don't agree with your stance, but I ask for consistency on your part.

But wrapping this up on a more serious note, with you there's at least a chance that you will still be around in a decade or so. The same could never be said about your buddy zeldaring.
