Nintendo is Unlikely to Follow in Sony’s Footsteps to End Physical Game Production, Says Analyst
Analyst Mat Piscatella believes Nintendo is unlikely to cease physical game production, unlike Sony's planned shift to digital-only by 2028. Piscatella suggests Nintendo will continue supporting physical media through at least the Nintendo Switch 2's lifecycle, citing the company's independent approach and reliance of retail outlets on its sales. This contrasts with Sony's move, which is expected to influence future consoles like the PlayStation 6 and Project Helix to be digital-only.
