Nintendo Refuses to Follow Sony’s Disc Exit, as Switch 2 Exec Says “There’s No Plans to Ditch Physical”

The backlash against Sony's decision to stop manufacturing PlayStation discs from January 2028 is still echoing throughout the games industry.

That changed recently for Nintendo, with Bill van Zyll (VP and general manager for Nintendo in Latin America) talking about this very subject in an interview with Brazilian YouTuber Coelho no Japão: Look, historically, we’ve been very agnostic, right? We go off of what the consumer prefers and take that into account very heavily. We also have a platform that just launched.
