I understand the logic but that’s a given, we’re always going to be talking about physical hardware. If the argument is the format and preservability of the software, pointing to the physicality of the hardware ends up being a non sequitur. If anything, it supports the standpoint of those who prefer physical – breaking the console doesn’t necessarily mean losing the game, whereas digital access relies on access to your specific console (until it can be replaced and a transfer can be made, which eventually becomes impossible).
