How much money will Sony make from the few gamers who will purchase a PS5 digital to play Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone, Apex Legends and other free to plays? At least not too many people play those.

They require playstation plus and considering they are all 3rd party games, sony would be in risk of loosing those consumers to Xbox Series S.

Ultimately when it comes down to the numbers, we have to assume sony has made a more calculated decision than any of us could hope with our loose guesses. The only thing they might get wrong is the actual demand for a digital only playtstaion. I haven't bought a physical game in 2 years but I'll still get the disc console just to be future proofed. 

A playstation plus subscription is not required to play those games.
