  I don’t think the sales are going to be that affected. Hell, most of the people complaining probably were never going to buy a new console at all.

    Well, the same could have been said about the last price increase the ps5 had. And even so, sales dropped significantly.

      I can see consumers being a lot more sensitive to prove increases than the removal of discs.

        This also likely affect prices for games.

        No resell/used option is significant, but I have no doubt that digital sales will become less frequent when there’s no risk of Amazon or Target selling the physical copies with a discount.

        It’s more like the removal of alternative option of purchase and true ownership.
