That's a great comparison, hardware released when digital sales were much less popular. A big problem with PSP as well was the digital store lacked many notable titles.

Games get delisted on modern platforms, but a vast majority of the library should stay in the store.

I doubt there will be a discless PS5, but Sony did go the discless route at one point and it was too early. 8th gen was a good time to try X1SAD because every game (virtually) gets added digitally.

He is trying to push a hypocritical slant based on hypothetical future scenario.

I gave the evidence of what already happened. PSP Go wasn't praised for being fully digital, nor was Xbox 1 DRM scheme.

People may like the option for full digital, still X1SAD isn't that hot.

So I don't see how that would change if Sony made it.

Well if the scenario did happen, people would consider PS5AD if the price is right. With that said, a few million X1SAD units were probably sold at $149. I even think a Series S could outsell the Series X.

It's really a debate on whether people like all digital. It's more about the price being acceptable for a console going that route. This is also an era where that's becoming viable given the move to digital media.

I remember praising Sony for their handling of games in 2013. Now I don't want physical games for various reasons, mostly from the content on the disc often being useless or inferior.

Right now we think PS5 is going to be over $399. If so, a 4TF PS5AD would be a hot item at $299. Like I said in a previous post, that would still be a huge upgrade over PS4 and Pro.
