Now that Sony's set the precedent of ending new physical games on PlayStation systems come 2028, one question is whether the competition will follow. One analyst doesn't think Nintendo is going to follow suit, because, well, the house of Mario and Zelda is a trendsetter, not follower.

But it's unlikely to have ramifications for every other major force within the medium, because Nintendo, at least, plays by its own rules.
