Nintendo won't abandon cartridges as Switch physical game sales are almost 40%
Nintendo has confirmed that physical game sales still account for a significant 38.5% of its revenue, despite a 90% increase in digital sales for the first quarter of the 2027 fiscal year. This contrasts sharply with Sony, where 82% of PlayStation 4 and 5 game sales are digital. The company's continued reliance on cartridges suggests it will not abandon physical media soon, especially with the upcoming Switch 2.
