Just days after PlayStation announced that all new games will be digital-only starting in 2028, Sony President and CEO Hiroki Totoki sold 225,000 Sony shares.

According to a recent SEC filing, Totoki sold the shares on July 3 for an estimated $4.73 million.
The sale represented 56.5% of his holdings in that class of Sony stock, leaving him with 173,250 shares.

The stock sale happened shortly after Sony announced its move toward an all-digital future for new PlayStation games after huge backlash from everyone

Watch Sony double down on their decision by announcing that they'll also discontinue the disc-based version of the PS5. Leaving the Digital and Pro models as the only available options.

And don't be surprised if they also jack up the price of the disc drive too.

Vous aviez vu cette répartition ???
Ça provient des leaks d’insomniac Games et montre que les exclu PlayStation se vendent plus en physique qu’en demat’ 📈
Comme quoi on nous raconte de la merde pour nous convaincre du full demat’ … 👎

Analysts speaking to IGN:

“Sony will not reverse this decision. Digital is just too lucrative.”

“50 million people subscribe to PS+. Let's say 500,000 cancel in protest, that would be just 1% of that business gone.”

Canceling PS+, posting on X, community noting or signing petitions “won’t make any difference” and won’t reverse Sony’s decision analysts say

Xbox could grab an easy W today: Just commit to physical games.

Put a disc in the box AND a digital code.
Collectors win. Digital players win. Xbox wins.

[Deion | SeeReax @SeeReax]

this means they're noticing.

tweets/trolling is funny. but they might ignore that.

what they can NOT ignore, is losing money.

keep it up.

I owned a:

- PS4
- PS5

I will not purchase a PS6 if nothing changes. Fuck that.

🚨BREAKING: GTA 6 might get MORE expensive because of Sony.

Here's the chain nobody's talking about:

- Sony is killing physical discs by 2028
- No discs = no used copies means no store competition
- That leaves the PlayStation Store as the ONLY place to buy
- Which means Sony alone sets the price
- With nothing on earth pushing it back down

You're paying $80 for a game you don't fully own.

And that's why a Dutch group is suing Sony for €400M over exactly this.

Is this deserved?👇

[Seife 🐺 @Seife0712]

Vous voyez ça ? C’est un jeu délisté d’absolument tous les stores dématérialisés depuis des années.
La seule manière de se le procurer aujourd’hui, c’est la seconde main, et ça, vous voulez aussi nous le retirer.
On acceptera jamais ça.

PlayStation just dropped a 50% off PS+ deal… for anyone who cancels their subscription.

The gamers’ protest is working. 😂 Hold the line, kings! 💪

🚨VAZAMENTO: NÃO FORAM APENAS OS JOGOS DA SONY QUE VENDERAM BEM EM MÍDIA FÍSICA!

Após os dados vazados da Insomniac Games em 2023 terem retornado aos holofotes com a polêmica do fim das mídias físicas anunciada pela Sony há 7 dias, as comparações começaram a bombar na internet e incendiar ainda mais a revolta dos jogadores quando descobriram que a proporção dos jogos first-paty era muito mais forte nas mídias físicas do que ela alegou estar em "abandono" pelos jogadores.

Nos dados da Insomniac Games também continham informações de vendas de jogos MULTIPLATAFORMA lançados no PlayStation até aquela época, e para a surpresa de ninguém, estes jogos também mostraram forte desempenho nas vendas físicas. Além disso, dados oficiais de mercados como Europeu / Reino Unido também comprovam forte adesão para o formato físico.

Fica evidente que o público tem grande preferência pelo formato físico em jogos single-player enquanto que a mídia digital prevalece nos jogos multiplayer/serviço.

PlayStation has finally spoken out!

🚨 Sony’s decision to end physical PlayStation games in 2028 reportedly caught many partners completely by surprise.

According to a new report:

> Many publishers, retailers, and business partners only learned about the decision after it was announced publicly

> One AAA publishing executive said: “Despite our seemingly close relationship with PlayStation, we weren’t informed this was happening.”

> The report says discussions have been tense since the announcement, with some partners worried about job losses and retail expansion plans being disrupted.

The backlash may be extending far beyond the gaming community. 👀
