The latest free update for Sony’s idiosyncratic racing game has helped the Gran Turismo series continue its popularity, according to its lead, Kazunori Yamauchi.
In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming services, the importance of physical media in gaming remains a topic of discussion.
Of course, Nintendo has always preferred physical sales, especially since they skew to a younger audience, and kids want games for their birthdays and holidays. They go to the store and pick the game they want.
Since the Wii they have always been the last major publisher to support modern tech or concepts, and they will be the last to support physical if it ever goes away. Which I hope it doesn't.
Nintendo just likes sales in general. If they can sell digital more, they would because the 2nd hand market they do not get a cut of. For me, i tend to buy more physical switch games than I do other platforms. I do have my fair share of digital deals from the eshop though. Especially if its something that i have a sealed physical copy of and dont want to reduce its value.
OK, but you need better format where these games could actually fit instead of half of the game being in physical form and all I have being on a digital code or have to download
The one caveat with cartridges. If the leaks are true the internal storage stands at 256gb plus SD card support too.
You could have a 256gb card and a 10gb card. Publishers will simply use the 10gb one and make you download the rest.
There are cards that can fit all of a game but those cost more, and publishers are cheap. It's weird cause with how much the switch has sold and how long it's been on the market the costs to manufacture these cards should've been much lower by now. It's a publisher issue cause there has only been very few exceptions on PS and Xbox, rest of the industry would rather force a download despite Blu-ray being cheap.
Your right. It's definitely a publisher issue. From my time collecting that's what I've come across. Just always remember

Tell you everything you need to know about releases.
Yeah it artificially retains the high prices for their software. Hence Pirates will always have their day with them.
Supergiant Games' Studio Director, Amir Rao, has said that he's worried about some unbalanced boons in-game, with nerfs coming soon.
Super Mario 64 and Diddy Kong Racing are just the beginning.
Love it, love it, love it. (Did I say I love it?) :)
This is somehow the game I have put the most time into on my ps5 so far. It also convinced me to add a psvr2 and wheel, which I am both happy I have and angry I bought at the same time lol
Being tempted to get this
