I hope it actually has a disc drive! If it doesn't, I won't bother with it. That's my only hope for the next generation of consoles, if they don't have a disk drive I'm sticking to the Switch 2 most likely. (I still need to get one lol.)
I like owning physical media as much as the next collector, but let's be honest, the physical disc just serves as an anti-piracy measure these days. The entire game runs off of the hard drive, and you insert the disc to prohibit you from installing it on your friend's consoles with only purchasing one copy.
That's why PC gaming moved away from using discs. People used no cd cracks which just disabled the disc check, and the game would run like it would if the disc was inserted. At least during the 360/PS3 era, you could save storage space for the digital only stuff, or the install for online-only features of a game, but the last generation did make me question what the point of the disc was if I bought a physical copy and the game still takes up 45GB (or more) of storage for a single player game. FF7 and RDR2 came with friggen install discs.
Then there's the day one patches that make you question how the game would run if you didn't have internet.
