Physical Console Games Are Becoming a Niche Market

In a world without DRM where the only thing one would need to install and run a game is a physical media, I would much prefer that to digital download. But since most PC games these days need online activation, whether you have the physical media or not, I only prefer physical media for the few games that don't, like Witcher 3.

I presume console games don't require online activation, so for those I'd much rather have a disc than just the game files downloaded to the hard drive of the console.
