Do you think Tim is right about digital games and next gen?

On Friday’s KFGD Tim stated that he thinks the next gen of consoles (ie PS6) will be digital-only. I’m curious whether everyone agrees with this prediction?

For me personally, I don’t think it’ll happen. I think it’s just too big a market to give up on yet - even if physical is only 30% or something of the potential console market, that’s a lot of sales to give up on for Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft. I don’t disagree that digital (including cloud gaming) will continue to take up market share, but I think 2027/2028 will be too soon to give up on physical media altogether.

I also feel like people have been predicting this about upcoming generations for years. I even remember people in 2010 or so thinking PS4 and Xbox 720 would be digital-only.
