"The key thing will be keeping the younger generations interested in physical releases".
Switch is many thing to many people, and that fact is arguably the key to its success. The way it fits into your life whether you're reclined at home on the sofa, playing in handheld mode when the TV is taken or curled up in bed with Nintendo's console, it's always ready and waiting to conveniently slip into your busy schedule. The fact that every Switch is a portable system makes the argument for going all-digital with your game purchases more compelling than ever, especially with other platforms. When it's possible to take every single game in your library with you, why bother building a bulky physical library at all?
Still, there remains a sizeable audience for physical releases - as evidenced by the immediate "Physical release?" response to each and every indie game announcement on the platform. We're constantly told that physical media is going the way of the dinosaur, yet companies devoted to limited releases and video games on cartridge and disc are flourishing, not least on Switch. One of the leaders in the field is Super Rare Games and today the company is celebrating its second anniversary.
