It's not very often we see some good news for physical game collectors as the industry moves more towards digital, but some new data is giving us a look at one platform holder who is still seeing physical as a big part of their business.

    Physical copies of video games is a healthy games industry.
  • No one talks about margins either, taking out physical removes material costs, manufacturing, shipping, labor, etc. It's actually kind of hilarious they're still able to release only digital games at full price once they've cut out every single one of those previous factors.

    On the upside, Nintendo is bound to be the last hold out for physical games. On the downside, Nintendo is the most trigger happy when it comes to shutting down emulators, even for games they don't have commercially available.

    Can we talk about the fact that there’s only ONE revision of the pokemon SV + DLC cartridge that actually contains all the dlc on the cart. Oh and only in Japan. Oh and there’s no way to tell what revision you have until you open it. So sad.
  • I'm surprised no one is bringing up a big advantage of physical games: you can SHARE THEM! Which is probably one reason the family-oriented Nintendo especially will continue with physical media: you have multiple Switches in one household, but you only have to buy one copy of the game.

    The day I can’t buy disks/ carts we are gonna have a problem here 🧐 I will still likely play games but unless it’s super cheap I won’t be spending any money on them if I have to jailbreak my console I will out of spite

    I bought mostly physical for the Nintendo switch. But out of the five or six games I got digitally, I did buy it in physical as well this year.
  • as someone who has been mostly digital for about 13 years now, physical media does have its place. there is absolutely no reason to have it one or the other 100%.
  • @Madblaster6
    Nintendo understands the value of physical items. Look at the recent years. Special edition consoles, collectors edition games, classic systems, amibo, etc. it’s likely why they have a hand over these digital only companies.
  • @MedalionDS9
    I got my Zelda Echoes of Wisdom on physical preorder

    Nintendo being so behind market trends is a double edged sword, and being cut so many times makes it all the more satisfying when it finally swings the other way
  • Im a physical collector. If digital takes over i have plenty to play. But we need to make sure it doesn't happen.
  • @slakr2392
    Physical Games for life 👏👏🤩

    My mario 3D world collection is worth 1.5 times the amount I paid for it. People that got digital can't sell it.
  • I love the idea of Nintendo being able to put the entire game on a cartidge as it guarantees you the game out of the box. Its unfortunate that some physical games require a "patch" which is the rest of the game or possibly installation of DRM (cause I tend to see an EULA page on certain games like EA, Ubisoft, 2K, etc.) which is not true ownership.

    I used to work at Best Buy, and I actually asked our Nintendo rep about the physical digital split. She told me that for the Switch, the split was actually close to half. She gave me a specific percentage but I don't remember, it was around 55 digital 45 physical. This was in late 2023 mind you.
