As PlayStation and Xbox move toward a more digital future, Nintendo could become the last major platform where physical games still truly matter.

Except that has never been Microsoft's gaming strategy. The Xbox was developed to give PC gaming a toehold in the console market so that games in one market class could be easily ported over to the other.

As app stores became a major money maker for OS's, the Xbox game store became a backdoor way to get an established app store on PC to eat Valve's lunch and pull in a new revenue stream.

Physical media doesn't work with Microsoft's gaming strategy.
