I don't see a PS5 Go/Phone/Hybrid/Portable supporting Physical Media. By 2020 we will be moving past 50% of all Retail games being sold digitally, with overall game sales way above 50% digital. By the end of next gen, retail games will probably be pushing 80 - 85% digital. I expect consoles and handhelds to become a hardware business at retail during next gen, with an extremely small offering of only the largest AAA titles. I do agree that they have to have things planned out from the start. All Games going forward have to scale to all future PlayStation Products. |
The original DRM plan for the XB1 was a step toward going 100% digital. That stigma basically ruined the success of the XB1 for this whole generation.
It is true that many people like digital, but there are also a lot of people that really like physical, especially because they can buy/sell/trade used games. Any console trying to go all digital is going to meet a similar fate to the XB1.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
