I'm in Canada and it's not quite so dire. But I have noticed we are only getting like "main" titles in stores. If I go into a gamestop, their Xbox and play station sections are a quarter of what they were in 2008. The switch is in a much better state with a lot more physical copies (my guess is kids go into stores with their parents and ask for games, so it makes sense to have more physical copies).

I'm really torn because I like physical copies, but I'm also literally running out of living space. Additionally, so many games have patches with bug fixes on day 1. I've also been finding online has much steeper sales.

I kinda feel like the shift to online screws us all, though. Idk I'm just a giant ball of being conflicted about it lol
