CDs in current gen physical copies aren't really much more than a license to download anyway considering many require a gigantic day 1 patch to play. So the CD doesn't really give you anything anymore (except I guess you could lend it to a friend).

You also can't sell it, and thus also can't buy it used. This is the final move to end the used market for console games.

I'll continue to avoid digital-only games copy for as long as I can because of this.

After a few years I typically replace my console, and sold the oldgen along with physical game copies. Sometimes I sell games sooner.

Each time I reconsider whether to buy Xbox vs Playstation, availability of physical copies is always a precondition.
