@NextGenPlayer I understand the financial pressures he’s pointing to. But Sony’s own FY2025 data show physical copies still accounted for 22% of full-game sales—roughly 70 million units. Digital is the majority, certainly, but physical buyers still represent a sizable market worth serving.

God of War creator David Jaffe: “Here’s the actual uncomfortable truth: Phasing out physical media is not some evil, greedy, illuminati anti-consumer plot. It is just the brutal unavoidable financial reality of an industry trying to survive…when games cost $300M+” “You can see why 3rd-party publishers are not fighting Sony on this, they’re popping Champaign” ▶️ youtu.be/7vVrjS6XT4U?si…

@Polygon Digital dominance explains Sony’s decision; it doesn’t prove Sony is “right” to kill discs. “Only seven games topped 100,000” omits which games, whether they released this year, total physical sales, and how many titles received substantial disc distribution. Context, not proof.

PlayStation fans are still furious about physical discs, but new data proves Sony is right to kill them polygon.com/sony-fans-phys…

@Vara_Dark 💯💯

"Only in the US" but they're killing physical games worldwide. So maybe you should... I don't know, talk about the worldwide figures? 🤯

Just to put a context to this stupid narrative; a game that sold 1.8M copies in physical (i.e. Resident Evil Requiem) is considered “more than 100K” Media has been manipulating the truth like this for years to change public opinion, and unfortunately, they still succeed!

@Aizmov 💯💯

@eurogamer This phrasing is intentionally misleading

Despite outrage at Sony's shift towards a discless future, only seven PlayStation games have managed more than 100,000 physical sales in the US this year eurogamer.net/playstation-di…

@IGN Digital dominance was never disputed. The backlash isn’t based on believing discs outsell downloads; it’s about Sony eliminating consumer choice. A digital majority doesn’t justify ending lending, resale, retail competition, and an important means of game preservation.

Amid the backlash to Sony’s decision to end production of discs for new PlayStation games from 2028, data for game sales in the U.S. show the dominance of digital in stark terms. bit.ly/4pQgqvD
