Sony more open-minded about Physical Media than Nintendo and Microsoft?

Here is what Reggie said June 22, 2015.

"I do think that consumers find a sense of security in having the physical thing, and given that, I think the option of the physical thing always needs to be there."

He also says in this interview that this sense of security over physical media is unfounded because the worry that a costumer would lose their game because it wasn't physical won't happen. He then says, in the very next sentence after your quote:

"How that manifests itself in our future development we'll see."

 I'll give you a little VIP look at "how it manifests itself" in their future developement. The key world is physical thing. Not physical media. Physical thing. Physical thing = NFC cards/coins/figures with download codes for digital games. That's the "we'll see." He wasn't confirming the continue physical media. He was hinting at this. Buy it physically at a store and tap it on your system to download. Keep it in your collection forever. There is your physical thing. Not disks. Not carts. Amiibo. Welcome to the future, today.

Next.

Yeah, becuase we all know there's security in disposable scratch off cards with codes on them.
