Personally, I think the threat of quitting is an idle threat.  And those who move to PC will probably still buy Sony games.  Moving to digital only isn't going to hurt as much as people think it will.  

They may still buy Sony games, but they won't be paying Sony to play them online,  won't be subscribed to any of the other Sony subscriptions, will wait for price drops before buying their games, and can use the peripherals of their choice.

Edit: I will never purchase a digital only console.  Ever.

Sure but Sony loses money on hardware and physical has higher overhead costs.  

Potential volume needs to be considered as well.  The ps5 has 60,000,000 users.  Steam has 150,000 000 active monthly users.  Epic has 75,000,000 active monthly users.  That is 225,000,000 versus 60,000,000.  And PC continues to grow, "despite" being digital.
