Almost all of my Nintendo games are physical. If I had a Playstation or an XBOX I'd go for physical copies as well. Why? Collector and resell value, also you can't just disable my physical game, you'd have to come by and physically take it away from me.
On PC, I care less about it. If Steam shuts down tomorrow, I download everything today and unlock it via Goldberg or just pirate it on demand. On console, I either can't do that at all or it is quite challenging to do so (with some exceptions).
