The concept that not everyone has big internet or even good enough might be super strange for these C-level people.
Even with physical media you have to download large packages of data to start playing the game
I don't think they care about those markets (even though they could make a lot of money out of them)
So is that market the last $1 billion still buying physical? A graph was passed around showing sales are down from an $11 billion peak in 2009 nearly 20 years ago.
I wonder how much of that last billion is Switch. I assume physical sales are higher there. But I might be way off.
