ITS OVER Sony Interactive Entertainment to end physical game disc production in January 2028

[Kyuu]

Resident Evil 9 shows there is still very high physical demand in many relevant countries. Over 50% of its sales (despite PC skewing towards digital) in France and Japan were physical. Deleting PC may increase physical share to 60%~.

NA physical seems to be an outlier, only making up 22%, presumably in part because of limited shipments.
