I could be wrong, but I don't see Sony walking this back. At least not entirely. The best I see is them continuing physical for PS5 another year or 2, while PS6 is 100% digital. 

Even that would be a massive win. I don't care about PS6. It's almost guaranteed to be a flop. I just want to enjoy the PS5's retirement years with lots of late-gen releases that are on a physical disc. 

Yeah we shall see if they change course. Even a little bit. But in reality this announcement feels final. 

I wonder if Xbox will see the backlash and keep physical going another generation. Even if it is just selling a separate blu-ray drive add-on that plugs into the console. So you can keep playing your backwards compatible games.
