Circana's Matt Piscatella:

I don't quite get the last post. I feel like there are two approaches Sony could take. It could go for accessibility and convenience by making a digital-only console that's so cheap and easy that consumers are willing to sacrifice the security/flexibility of physical. Or it could go for an enthusiast machine where physical games are sold at a premium, hoping collectors and diehard fans pay for the privilege.

A $1,000+ console that's digital only is the worst of both these worlds. Who would be lining up for that?

Yeah I'm not convinced this is necessarily the path Sony will go down, at least I certainly hope not, more a warning of what can happen if a company decides to chase the biggest spenders.
