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

I’m not surprised it’s Nintendo who will stand alone. I am surprised Sony officially announced it before Microslop, though. Although the Xbox has been slowly transitioning to digital, they haven’t made any definitive statements on it yet.
The only reason Nintendo is still doing physical is because of their stance (read: stubbornness) to adapt what others in the gaming industry are doing, which can be a double-edged sword. In this case, it works out.
I thought it was the fact that Switch 1 & 2 are portable devices, and thus internet access is less likely to be available.
