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

99% of the consumer also only buys liike 2-3 games a generation. It s the 1% that is the hardcore collector that spend $$$$ on games which are limited edition etc. and pay a 20%-50% premium just because it is. Without physical games you have cut out a big revenue sources that pays more.

I think you are significantly overestimating how important collectors editions are to games sales and how many people wouldn't buy a collectors edition with a digital copy of the game.

So you are saying I will get my staues, remote controlled cars and hover crafts, fridges, books, etc...

I have bought 2-3 copies of certain games (and I know others who have also) just so they cna gave some full sets of their favourite franchise. 

Like it or not physical limited editions drive profits up. When you can sell a batman statue that costs like $10 to make for an extra $50 ontop on the cost of the game it is a no brainer. Matmobile edition was about $150 more than the base game in Aus. Till they pulled it. THey were sellign on eBay for $600 too so clearly there was a demand for them
