Nobody said it was. It's a medium to get games from a brick and mortar store to install onto the nvme on the console you can't play modern games directly from Bluray either.
I agree, hall effect joycons SoC to something that's less than two years old and maybe a little thicker for enough battery to match runtime and a tiny quiet fan.
We need to find a way to shutdown the outrage stroking right wing indoctrination media complex first.
If you have no prospects and no education to know how to separate reality from hate mongering lies it's pretty easy for an alternate reality talking head to convince you that the only reason you don't have a job, house and wife is because someone named Carlos was allowed past the border to pick cucumbers.
And if there's evidence that they knew they were actively participating in a criminal conspiracy by doing so they deserve their probation or a few months in jail.
30 second search at 100gb (modern AAA games and the biggest Bluray)
Bluray is $10 a disc, microsd is $8 and you get 128gb and can get bigger media, which doesn't exist for Bluray.
That doesn't account for mass production, fewer people care about physical media with every passing year.
Physical media will still exist, but it won't be optical. Opticals advantages over cart just don't exist anymore. You don't include a $80+ part on the bom when less than 5% of your users want it and that 5% can get a bog standard usb device that can be had for $10
They're all digital only now. There's no reason, at all, to have optical drives in consoles. With the advent of direct nvme to video memory you have to load content to the nvme anyway because spinning g plastic sucks soooo much. Today SD is actually cheaper per gb than Blu-ray.
Want to purchase a physical copy? Buy it on a SD card and get a $10 usb SD card reader, which will be compatible with every console anyway.
My prediction will be that the next gen (PS6) will go 100% download only, get shat on then start up a service with gamestop or someone to distro encrypted game installs onto WHATEVER usb media you bring in.
Couple that with a constant barrage of disinformation that claims everything outside of those people's personal horizon is a barren wasteland at war with communist, socialist, trans invaders and they'll vote for anything.
It sure would be nice if the bar was the rational one of "better" but people aren't rational. It's literally never going to be good enough, because even if it were perfect it still can't be used.
Mitch McConnell's constituency aren't Kentucky voters, they're the oligarchy. He's never voted to protect or benefit anyone other than donors. Kentucky is one of the poorest states, so it's got the cheapestly bought federal positions.
Yeah, they overthrow the sealion farm just yesterday.
