physical just doesn't make much sense as games need more and more storage and more and more updates. What's the point in a cart that needs an online update to run? Just last week I noticed a game that was a 3gig download for the game, and a further 3gig for the update. As others have mentioned, digital rot is also a thing and even electronics have a shelf life albeit much longer than CDs etc. If we're holding on to the idea we need to preserve every rendition of Barbie's stable adventure, digital is the way to go.
the differences are negligible, but even on the xbox one, this looks no better than a 360 game in my eyes. If this was shown 5 years ago I don't think it would have wowed graphically.
What's interesting is the Switches available on taobao (China's ebay/amazon market) are Hong Kong versions, which are just Japanese versions with a sticker on the box and these seem to be in no short supply. Looking at the prices in the photos here, the price is basically the same too.
