Yeah no
it's already happened. physical sales are plummeting and digital sales are the majority nowFrom what I've Googled, it looks like physical sales only really plummeted in 2020, and we all know what happened that year that prevented people from going out and buying games in stores. Since then the numbers remain lower than they were before, but are remaining steady at their current levels.
People will humbly accept ps5 and beyond becoming digital only, physical discs will become a thing of the pastGood
In 2009 Sony were rightfully trashed by gamers and the marketfriendly reminder that every year is a good year to trash on Sony
Wait, people actually use UMD on their PSP?
Even on the classic PSP digital is preferred.
I think the only digital the PSP had was from sailing the seven seas
No?IIRC, a big issue with PSP Go was that a lot of PSP games were UMD-only, no option to buy them digitally. With modern systems I'm pretty sure everything is available digitally.
We can download games from the PS Store.
Wait, people actually use UMD on their PSP?Yes because a lot of games on PSP were physical only

Just in time for consoles to lose all relevanceYeah, no kidding. If I can't have physical on a console, what's even the point?
Yes because a lot of games on PSP were physical only
Okay.

*Hugs Nintendo Switch*
Cartridges for life. Honestly it's a shame Nintendo didn't jump straight to the Switch model after the N64, that way Nintendo never would've had to go through a disc-based phase.
Still weird af to me that modern discs are essentially just a key that allows you to play the digital version of a gameI own a XB1. Most games were on the disc but you had some that were day 1 patches with the remainder of the game. I'm comfortable with that. Thats the way it should be. When I buy a game I at least want most of the game that if I ever dont have internet I can still play it. Now I hate only games like the Division games. The 15 months I stayed and helped my friend. In the few moments I got me time I loaded it up and was met with internet required. I wanted to play the game solo. It should be a choice
Yeah, no kidding. If I can't have physical on a console, what's even the point?
The Switch Cartridge is so tiny though. How can that tiny thing house an amazing breathtaking game like breath of the wild?

magic! I swear, they're like the gods of making great looking games with little space. Or hell, games with tiny space at all! I remember the second generation of Pokemon had just enough space left over and they decided to shove Kanto into it. Kanto wasn't even supposed to be in those games but they did it because they could and that's beautiful.
They released the Playstation Portal whatever that was, and the PSP GO sucked. I do think it was a good idea to get rid of the UMD Drive but that system failed to sell. And then there was the Vita. At least I can play Lost Dimension on Steam. I had no interest in the Vita for various reasons but the PSP did kick ass even that dumb Go Version which well, I think that was a prototype for the Vita, but they were getting into Sega Genesis territory then, not that I would have thought of it until now.
Physical copies can't just get its license revoked from me,Yeah it can.
