| TheRealSamusAran said: 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. |
The alternative is waiting for the official announcement of the PS6, and there's no way that would've been any better.
They're basically given everyone (especially divisions or partners they couldn't inform beforehand) an 18 month heads up. This info would've leaked very easily, so better for them to get ahead of it instead of letting rumours and speculation run everywhere.
And Sony DADC already started the process of repurposing the factory for PS games like 2 years again. It would've been common knowledge soon enough
