True, but as I understand it, the sales of physical media is dwindling fast.
Maybe Sony shouldn’t kill it, but let it die out by itself, but maybe that’s what they consider this is?
Unfortunately dropping physical media has many advantages for Sony, but probably not for the customer.
We will see if customers can create a shitstorm big enough to make them change their mind as Microsoft did pretty quickly back when they announced it, because the shitstorm was enormous, and Sony scored huge points on announcing continued support back then.
Kind of Ironic that Sony is the one to end it now. Ah well, maybe this will help Xbox become more competitive again.
But remember a big reason Sony did it back then was to keep Blu-Ray alive. And I don’t think that is commercially relevant for them either anymore.
