Pushsqure has postet an articel with the ratio of game bought pysical or digital this year. The ratio goes up for digital games. I’m still buy most of my games pysical, but what do you prefer.

I like that i’m able to resell, rent games and i have a bigger market for discouts in pysical games. I guess the biggest advantage if digital games it’s how easy it is to obtain them and you don’t have to stand up switching games. Not surprised that the games sold on the Switch have a much higher ratio of pysical games, there is just not enough memory on the system.

US

  • PS5: 78% digital, 22% pysical
  • XBS: 91% digital, 9% pysical (no gamepass included)
  • NS: 53% digital, 47% pysical

EU

  • PS5: 68% digital, 32% pysical
  • XBS: 81% digital, 19% pysical
  • NS: 35% digital, 65% pysical

    Idk what you mean about “not enough memory”. I have a microSD card in my switch that has more space than I’d likely ever be able to fill.

        256GB. I think you can get ones as big as 1TB.

          Yes 1Tb is possible, but i think not on switch Release. Netherles, my 256gb card is not enough for me. And the onboard memory is so small, there are even games to big for onboard. I don’t know what switch predecessor will support, but probably go for biggest i can find there.
