Pushsqure has postet an articel with the ratio of game bought pysical or digital this year. The ratio goes up for digital games. I'm still buy most of my games pysical, but what do you prefer.

I like that i'm able to resell, rent games and i have a bigger market for discouts in pysical games. I guess the biggest advantage if digital games it's how easy it is to obtain them and you don't have to stand up switching games. Not surprised that the games sold on the Switch have a much higher ratio of pysical games, there is just not enough memory on the system.

US

  • PS5: 78% digital, 22% pysical
  • XBS: 91% digital, 9% pysical (no gamepass included)
  • NS: 53% digital, 47% pysical

EU

  • PS5: 68% digital, 32% pysical
  • XBS: 81% digital, 19% pysical
  • NS: 35% digital, 65% pysical

Mostly physical because I prefer doing so for all of my consoles. I only buy digital when a game is deeply discounted, I was given a Nintendo gift card, or the physical version isn't available or is prohibitively expensive
