What I just can't understand from Sony's perspective, is why announce the end of disc production now. When they showed the discdriveless PS5 with the disc drive addon, I was sure that was how the PS6 was gonna be, and then the PS7 would probably not even support that addon anymore and would be truly fully digital, and then they would end disc production, they would successfully boil the frog that way.
Instead they skipped all those steps and threw the frog straight into the bonfire, are they that confident in their market position?

Honestly this so baffling it makes me feel like it's based on some select people's individual gain in terms of satisfying shareholders on revenue/ keeping their job /insider trading or something of  the sort.

They have an incredible 6months of software planned. Aside from the price hikes they could of rode a huge wave of momentum between Wolverine, GTA, GOW... 

Even if they wanted to separate the announcement from PS6 they could of announced it in March 2027 lol.
