All games will end up digital after 20 years, Nintendo ex-president\'s 2009 prediction proves true
As the console games market rapidly shifts from physical packages to digital downloads, a long-term outlook by former Nintendo president Satoru Iwata (이와타 사토루) in 2009 is again in focus. He said it would take about 20 years for digital distribution to fully replace physical sales. Recent changes by Sony and Nintendo are seen as making that forecast a reality, including Sony’s plan to halt new PlayStation game disc production from January 2028.
