    I read PS physical sales are currently about 15% of the market. That was about 70 million sales in 2025. Seems dumb to cut that out, but maybe it will work out for them.

      It seems dumb to us. But I’m sure they’re (selfishly) considering the cost of manufacturing and distributing physical discs vs the number of people who can and will switch to digital if that’s all that’s available.

        Seems risky, since the video game market is in an unprecedented place economically now. It may just be that the old AAA model just doesn’t make sense any more. I’d welcome a collapse of it, but am interested to see what the market can bear.
