Did the CD format overstay it's welcome?

Hello, fellow gamers...I have travelled back in time from the year 2027...and I
noticed that CDs are in full swing at this time. The last system that used CDs
was the Nintendo Elantracube from 2023 (the Nintendo company merged with
Hyundai of Japan in 2021). Most the systems these days (such as the Microsoft
ZZtopBox, Sony Playstation Pi-R-SquaredSoft, and GeriatricGaming's Canecast)
use tiny magnetically encoded wax cylinders (about the diameter of a dime, but
about ten times thicker).

LOL!

Ivan, do me a favor and look my future self up, will you? I'll be about 61
years old, probably living in a retirement home reviewing bocce ball and
shuffleboard videogames for an AARP magazine. Ask my older self to shoot me
an e-mail back in time telling me which games are the most popular on eBay
in 2027. I'll then use this info to purchase all the inventory of those
games before they are ever released. Of course, that will alter the course
of time and change your future, so you might not want to help me out...

FYI Hyundai is a Korean company. Not Japanese.

Hyundai branched out to Japan in 2011. They made virtual reality driving games
in 2015, but they didn't sell too well...they broke their virtual transmissions
after just a few races.

Now I've gotta get back to the future, and pretend I'm someone from 2002...see
ya in 25 years!
