NEW: More details on PlayStation’s reported digital strategy: - No plans to reverse its decision on physical media - Retail strategy won’t change - Stores will reportedly sell empty game cases with download codes - Sony believes players will eventually accept a 100% digital future - Insiders claim Sony sees little need to maintain close contact with fans, trusting the strength of the PlayStation brand and community loyalty Selling first-party games digitally also allows Sony to keep 100% sale price, instead of sharing roughly 30% with retailers. An analyst told IGN: “With around 50 million PlayStation Plus subscribers, even if 500,000 canceled in protest, that’s just 1% of the business, unlikely to make Sony rethink. Digital is simply too lucrative.”
