Physical games will not exist in 'less than a decade' predicts analyst
An industry analyst predicts that physical video games will cease to exist within the next decade, despite a recent small increase in US sales. Factors contributing to this prediction include the decline of physical retailers, the dominance of digital sales, and the increasing number of consoles sold without physical drives, such as the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. The analyst notes that even with a recent uptick, the overwhelming majority of game volume is now digital.
