Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles

They will, because it’s the only option and is “the” gaming brand.

I’ll be watching the number of consoles sold a year after launch with interest. It will of course sell out at launch regardless of price.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they stopped giving sales numbers soon, like they did with the PS3 and vita. Their current gen sales have completely dried up atm thanks to the price increases, and they don’t want to present that.
Once people understand that now is the cheapest they’re going to be for a long time they’ll start selling again though, but with Xbox lucky to sell a few thousand consoles a month and not announcing their sales figures, Sony don’t need to release figures either.
