Could just be plays on words.

-What does SNY consider physical vs digital? Discs actually spin and need physical movement to work. Game carts just sit still in a slot.

-PS Store doesn't sell game disc versions now does it? What if retailers can only sell digital but you can buy a cart version from the PS Store? It's implied that PS Store is tied to the same meaning as retailers, but that's not a guarantee.

-Physical discs may be an old trend, and digital is the go to trend, but the new trend is game carts in console gaming. Just like hybrid handhelds...

Again I could very well be wrong but it's just hard to believe SNY is legit pulling the plug.

Sony is clearly talking about downloads, the second part quoted on my previous post very clearly talks about things already happening as consumers already preffer digital media (by their words).

Sony is pushing based on data from their own, there is no mistery here, GTA VI, the biggest game launch ever, is a code in a box, that's exactly what they are talking about.

Digital format only, following consumer trends (which means things already happening), there is no big play with words here.

Maybe. We're eventually going to find out. Hope for the best outcome.
