Sony purposely manufactured more disc PS5s than digital in the beginning of the generation because they made more money selling those. It was a lot harder finding a digital PS5 than a disc. Even with more disc PS5s sold a lot of people still only bought games digitally, same happened with Xbox where the Series X has a disc drive, but most don't use it.

Either way it's absolutely scummy of Sony producing more PS5 discs knowing there was a possibility they were going all digital with the PS6. They should have let the discs slowly die out or become a niche market.

It's scummy from Sony to offer an optional PS5 disc drive (or PS5 disc version) for people who still want to use their compatible game and movie discs?

You have a very flawed logic.

I'm saying it's scummy Sony produced way more disc PS5s making everyone think physical was going to be around for at least the entire PS5 life, and possibly PS6.
