Aside from Nintendo, how often to today's games actually fit on physical media and not require downloading/patching to play?

Actually asking, I don't have any consoles.

There used to be CDs that came in cereal boxes, occasionally a game would be on two disks.

Also starcraft was on two disks for the installation, though I believe the second disk was for expansion to the main campaign.

I was there too. I remember installing Doom from floppy disks. I've just never had an Xbox or Playstation, so I have no context for how those medias have evolved over the years. I assumed at this point they were mostly digital already.
