@Masterchiefin21 Fighting games are live service games, and even in leaked data from years ago—when the share of physical sales was higher than it is today—they were a genre with an overwhelmingly high digital sales ratio.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@GamingCentral26 Very few gamers insist on physical media, and the number is even smaller on Xbox. If they spend money maintaining a useless physical media system and even raise the next console's price because of it, the next generation will decline even more than it has now.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@RinoTheBouncer Then why does everyone use Steam, even though it's the platform that created the licensing model Sony follows?

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@BeeFun__ Simply because it sells the least. There's no need to look at old, minor details when we can just look at the last year's data.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@GamingCentral26 Retail stores still sell physical boxes, so nothing has essentially changed.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@_Deez_Games That basically means retailers bear the losses. Digital distribution provides equal sales opportunities for everyone. More importantly, physical boxed games are still being distributed, so if inventory piles up at retail stores, they'll put them on sale.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@lmkifiwin If the previous argument was accepted, then nothing has changed. Retail stores are still selling boxes that contain games.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@Ness_and_Sonic @GamingCentral26 Games have been installed to the hard drive or SSD for over a decade because it's dramatically faster and quieter. Even on the Switch 2, game cartridges are slower than digital. That's one of the reasons physical media is disappearing.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@xMBGx That is exactly why Sony cannot raise prices however it wants.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@Sarrvatore So, are you criticizing Sony in order to play games for free?

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@GamingCentral26 Discounts on physical editions usually exist because retailers need to clear inventory. They generally don't hurt Sony, since the inventory has already been sold to retailers. Therefore, it makes little difference to Sony whether a game is sold digitally or physically.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@FrozenPewPew @Pirat_Nation Then fine. Just don't call Sony greedy if it charges extra for an external disc drive in the next generation.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@acaraOfGames Nintendo's stock, too, fell 0.97% over the past five days. This happened after Nintendo announced that it would continue selling physical copies on equal terms with digital versions.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@RinoTheBouncer Criticizing no-disc platforms while praising other no-disc platforms seems quite strange.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@JustGreenOne My point is that all platforms operate under the same licensing model. and GOG, despite being DRM-free, has never become a mainstream platform. Developers and users recognize Steam as the dominant platform. It set the standard the industry—including PlayStation—follows.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@squirtle41389 @GamesRadar Apple no longer releases software on CDs, and also stopped selling disc drives. anyway, Sony can sell an external disc drive for physical media owners. That creates additional revenue. But sns will probably criticize Sony for selling the extra disc drive and call it greed.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@JustGreenOne However, it still does not sell ownership. In other words, contrary to the article, every platform grants a license rather than selling ownership.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@PCFactsbr Around 125 million people are already using mostly digital games. How many people on X actually canceled their PSN subscriptions? There's no way it was 500,000. The real number is much smaller, yet that tiny group is trying to represent more than 100 million users.

[이문ㅅㅔ @dlanstp1016]

@SrGarrus Nothing changed. Back then, Sony was criticized for not supporting backward compatibility like Microsoft did, with people calling it greed They even posted a video of handing over a disc to appeal to physical gamers. In other words,They always sided with the majority of users
