Discs suck, other than for used game sales and collecting.
But used games sales is a huge plus. But realistically I think we'll see maybe one more console generation with physical media.
When physical media dies, I no longer have a good reason to buy consoles.. that’s literally the whole reason I bother with them - I like browsing through the cases to pick games to play.
I have through ps5, and plan to get a series s or whatever the newest with-optical Xbox is (because I can skip the one, nicely backward compatible), but that’s likely where I end the console journey. As it is now it’s getting harder to find physical copies because so many people only have them digitally. The used game market is already ruined for modern consoles, and I’m not paying full price to rent a game.
I don’t support that user-hostile model. I’ll just pirate all that shit on pc.
