It doesn't seem like Nintendo plans to drop cartridges anytime soon, as the Switch 2 maker reports 38.5% of its sales are physical
While Sony commits to ending the production of game discs, Nintendo has reported that almost 40% of its software sales are physical.
Nintendo has reported that 38.5% of its software sales between March 30 and June 30, 2026, were physical, with the remaining 61.5% coming from digital purchases. This indicates that the company does not plan to drop cartridges anytime soon, in contrast to Sony's plan to end the production of game discs by January 2028. The increase in digital sales, particularly for the Switch 2, has risen by 90% year-on-year, while the proportion of digital sales has increased by 2.2% compared to the same period last year.
