GKC may last longer than physical or digital.

You would be blown away at the lengths people in the retro gaming hobby go to keep older consoles alive. We shouldn't have working PS3s in 2040 yet we will because mad scientists reball and liquid cool PS3 fats.

This will never be a solution. Not scalable. At best some games will be available to play for a few enthusiasts

True but unless we get an FPGA version of every console it's never going to be an exact 1:1 recreation. Tons of games on emulators these days are full of bugs. People just don't notice them. 

I would rather try to be in that small subsection of people that kept their hardware alive than rely on software emulators. 

I do think GKC and digital copies are a far bigger threat to game preservation than physical copies deteriorating.
