Personally, I love this. One of two things will happen.

One, and most likely, Xbox and Nintendo follow suit, games are more expensive, no second hand market, no one bats an eye, indie and AA games become much more attractive.

Two, Xbox and Nintendo don’t follow suit, Sony gets shit pushed in badly, we get another gen of redemption Sony à la PS3 gen, which happens to be the last gen Sony was worth a shit when it comes to making games.

Win/win

Honestly the first outcome you described sounds worse than the second.

The only justification I see for not doing physical copies of games anymore is people will have more physical space and there will be more resources available for other products. The cons still outweigh the pros though.

Indie and AA have been shitting on AAA slop for years and years now. But this is the most likely scenario simply because a majority of people already buy digital.
