Sonys all digital PS5 kinda hints where the industry is going. MS has already dipped its toes with the X One SAD-edition and its rumored next gen Lockhart.
Lots of gamers are jumping ship and switching to digital. It's more convenient, it's friendly for the environment and publishers are getting a larger cut from sold units due to cutting out the middle man.
I believe next gen is the last where the majority of games comes shipped in physical boxes. If we want physical it'll be for select titles from niche companies like Limited Run and Superrare games. It'll be for collectors only.
And to be honest, I think that fucking sucks the big one. Can't imagine an all digital future for games. But that's the reality.
