Nintendo commits to physical games as Sony goes digital

Original: Nintendo stands by physical games as Sony embraces a digital-only future — 'There's no plans to ditch physical. We know how much the fans like it as well, so our position has been to be agnostic,' says a Nintendo exec

A Nintendo executive says the company has no plans to abandon physical game releases, describing its stance as format-agnostic and noting how much fans value physical media. The statement contrasts with Sony, which is pushing a digital-first strategy for PlayStation, including a digital-only version of its current console. Gamers are weighing the two companies' opposing directions as digital storefronts and collecting culture increasingly divide the industry.

Why now: Nintendo's public defence of physical media lands amid industry debate over digital-only consoles and preservation of game ownership.
