Indie and AA have been shitting on AAA slop for years and years now. But this is the most likely scenario simply because a majority of people already buy digital.

The other problem with discontinuing physical games is the fall of retail game stores. How can retail game stores survive on just selling the consoles?

Big store retailers like Wally and Target will be fine and probably still carry consoles and accessories because the markups on them can be large. Game stores though, they can’t and they won’t. GameStop is either going to go out of business or fully transition to a retro chain.

Sony doesn’t even sell digital game codes anymore, they stopped doing that last gen. I wonder if they will even bother bringing them back.
