I’m still genuinely shocked at the timing. 22% of the console base buying physical still is no chump figure. That’s still millions of players.

I figured we still had at least 1 more generation of physical with the PS6’s disc drive being what the PS5’s is now. Technically optional.

What a bandaid rip.

Its more than that. 82% of PS5s sold are the ones with a disc drive. Even the 18% digital consoles arent even accurate since people buy the disc drive add-on. So it could be like 10% of all PS5 owners have a digital only console. Thats like 9-10 million gamers.

And many PS5DE users including myself and my brother still value physical and buy physical on Switch. He bought his PS5DE because it was cheaper during a time where he couldn't justify paying 1200 AUD for a scalped standard PS5.
