Do you think people will try to assemble a complete collection of the PS4/Xbox/Switch library, like is common with retro consoles? (rammy.site)

I've often wondered this. With the sheer volume of titles on modern consoles, is it even possible to have a complete collection of the library? Especially with something like the Switch, where there are also a shit ton of shovelware titles out there, not only digital but physical shovelware as well from Limited Run Games.

Part of me thinks it's not going to happen, and the other part of me knows that I'm probably severely underestimating collectors' skills, resources, and obsession.

The issue with PS4/Xbox/Switch library is a certain number physical games won’t work here in 10 years because they need a online account. Another issue are the games that have day 1 patches that fix big issues. I imagine that there will still be a collectors market though. Jut not complete collections.
From my perspective, the Switch has been collectable since it launched, LOL.
