As PlayStation and Xbox move toward a more digital future, Nintendo could become the last major platform where physical games still truly matter.

    I thought it was the fact that Switch 1 & 2 are portable devices, and thus internet access is less likely to be available.

      Switch and Switch 2 have digital download options of most games including most of the indie market which is exclusively digital

        I never said it didn’t. I said I thought the cartridges were made for when you can’t download a game on the go.

          I mean you can download a game before you go. Or all your games. Micro SD cards go up to like 1TB these days, and the vast majority of my downloaded switch games are <1GB. The main exceptions being Smash Bros and Pokemon.
