   @kirby @Tsuki oh definitively. There's a rumour that Sony is making a handheld. Also Xbox making the Surface team making their hardware
   
   But IMO, they're stuck between a rock and a hard places. If they have any backward compatibility, that means, fuck you physical owners. It will be handheld with a * next to it, on top of xbox probably announcing the end of physical games for them. I can't see it going that well

     I think Nintendo will at least continue selling physical games. It still seems like a healthy market in Asia and if the other two drop off that's just more shelf space for Nintendo.

     @Tsuki @kirby they're all going that way slowly unfortunately. But yeah, apparently Nintendo is still selling a lot of physical games, much more than the other two, so they'll probably be the last ones to drop out. IMO, being the first to drop out of that will be massively bad for Xbox

     @coolboymew @Tsuki @kirby if they drop out
     They lose the Japanese reseller market which is pretty big in Japan
