The people who love physical have been buying it. As a lazy estimation, if a game iavailable at retail sells 10m, 3m of those millions are physical copies. This is simply me extrapolating from Sonys 4/5 digital figure and accounting for the fact the fact this includes digital only games. 

The physical market is still viable and large, but the vast majority of consumers are comfortable with digital and Sony & publishers benefit from pushing things to a monopolised digital storefront with no used market.

That is so anti-consumer. -_-

Sony has mentioned a lot their intention to monetise their userbase in response to RAM crisis etc. I don't think people expected they meant this but it will overnight increase their software revenue by double digits at the very least.
