Nintendo has announced that it intends to continue selling physical games, despite Sony's plans to end disc releases for new PlayStation titles in 2028. This stance was revealed in an interview with Brazilian YouTuber Coelho no Japao, where Nintendo’s vice president and general manager for Latin America, Bill van Zyll, emphasized the company's awareness of fans' fondness for physical media.
Van Zyll stated that Nintendo is open to both physical and digital releases, catering to players' preferences. However, it's important to note that Nintendo's support for physical games doesn't guarantee that all boxed releases will contain the complete game on a cartridge. This position differs significantly from Sony's upcoming transition to a digital-only approach, raising questions about the future of game ownership and the physical collection of games.
