[Juun @JuunTV]

Have any of the people in charge of PlayStation ever studied business or did they just got their position handed on a golden platter?

With the death of physical media. They just destroyed their last remaining unique selling point (USP) they really had.

❌Price, with a $1000 at the minimum and the news they won't sell at a loss that puts the PS6 in the range of the PS3 release the console that had the biggest backlash due to their egregious price.

❌Physical Media, the PS2 introduced the blu-ray format which revolutionized the gaming and movie industry. The biggest selling point of the PS4 that won the console war of that generation before it even started. PlayStation build their console on their physical formats from the CD to the Blu-ray it has always been one of their major selling points and they do it all away for a digital format, that's not more unique than the new Xbox or playing on PC.

❌Games, sure PlayStation might hold many popular IP's in their freezer in the hopes they might release them again some day. And there might be 1 game out there that you thought may have been a banger for you. But face it the new PlayStation hasn't had the biggest success in their franchises since the PS4. The new format for PlayStation games is cinematic experiences. This has shown over and over again with each game they release, cinematic and flashy objects with qte's first and gameplay is an after thought. And frankly enough it shows in the numbers less people get PlayStation exclusives.

❌Free online gaming, for the longest while Sony had the edge over Xbox 360 for being the platform that lets you play online with friends for free. But with the introduction of PS4 this has been long gone too.

So thats that the three USP's of Sony PlayStation for consumers all gone. The only thing that remains is a closed ecosystem. A closed ecosystem Sony banks on that you will be locked into because your current digital game libraries are big enough that you can't give them up anymore. And that USP is not for you thats their cow to milk.

With no USP they can provide to the customers, there is absolutely nothing they can do to gain new potential customers. They are hard focusing on retaining current customers and with he current trend I can only see that number growing lower and lower. This is bad for anyone including customers who are still getting a PS6 because if less people join your ecosystem, the worse a digital service becomes. Unless major changes are made I doubt Sony PlayStation will be able to keep their head high long. Just look at the current state of Xbox this is currently the future for PlayStation too.

But what are your thoughts, any USP's I missed that PlayStation lost? Are you getting a PS6 regardless? And if so tell me why.

PlayStation 2 market has been ruined forever 😭

[RONIN714 💿💿💿 @TheLastRonin714]

To the “it doesn’t affect me” crowd: not everything has to affect you to matter. If you don’t buy physical media, that’s your choice. But Sony stepping away from it affects collectors, preservation, ownership, and consumer choice. Let the people who care… care.

Os voy a hablar un poco del impacto emocional que he experimentado tras estos días y lo que necesito para volver a confiar en Sony.

En mi caso, que llevo desde los 6 añitos disfrutando con PlayStation, me siento tan profundamente traicionado que no me queda ni un ápice de voluntad de seguir con ellos.

Para que considerara siquiera volver a apoyar su marca creo que necesitaría estos mínimos:

➡️ Tendrían que salir a la palestra e hincar la frente en el escenario pidiendo disculpas por todas las prácticas anti cosumidor que llevan haciendo y por tratarnos de la forma que han hecho.
➡️ Tendría que ver a cargos de responsabilidad dimitir y una renovación en sus políticas que asegure que esto no vuelva a ocurrir.
➡️ Tendrían que reestablecer el formato físico totalmente, sin códigos ni descargables, el físico REAL como opción y sin recortes. Nada de cajas vacías, pocas existencias ni juegos sucios. Tendría que ver dedicación por devolverlo al punto en el que comenzaron a perjudicarlo.
➡️ Y sobre todo, tendrían que poner bajo cláusula que todo el contenido digital que hemos comprado dejara de ser una licencia abusiva y tuvieramos plena disposición y tranquilidad de que nadie pueda meter mano en nuestra cuenta y borrarlo. Sin fechas de caducidad ni triquiñuelas asquerosas.

Llevo toda la vida siendo fan pero nadie te prepara para el momento en el que te das cuenta que esa consola que tantos momentos te ha dado, se ha convertido en la herramienta de 4 hombres con traje para encadenar tu tarjeta de crédito.

Ni silencio, ni olvido, muchachos.
Hasta que no nos devuelvan a un status quo que sea totalmente favorable y nos proteja como consumidores, que se arrepientan de lo que han querido hacer.

[Thorzilla 🎮 💿 ✏️📊 @Thorzilla]

Warm up boys and girls. Tomorrow's the day when @PlayStation probably replies or publishes some tone deaf new post and we must be ready to hit back and hard.

[Again🧨 @RohPtn]

If If PlayStation goes fully digital, we lose ownership, preservation, and consumer choice.

Change your profile picture to this and stand together.

NO DISC = NO PLAYSTATION.

Let Sony know that physical games matter.

[Bigby Wolf @Darikania_RSP]

New Day. @Sony and @PlayStation are still silent. This is what Joel and Ellie think of your idea of killing physical media:

[NovaCore Gaming @novacoregames_]

No more building a physical gaming collection. No more lending games to friends. No more owning what you paid for. Just digital licenses that can disappear if a game is delisted or a service shuts down.

Physical games have been part of gaming culture for decades. They preserve gaming history, give players real ownership, and often end up being cheaper than digital versions.

Would you be happy with an all-digital PlayStation, or is physical media worth fighting for? 👇🎮

[Noticias PlayStation @NotiPlay_]

Es bastante irónico que, en el universo de Intergalactic, el formato físico siga prevaleciendo a pesar de que la historia está ambientada miles de años en el futuro.

Me parece un mensaje muy poderoso el que Naughty Dog transmite con el banner de su encabezado.

[Tap Tap Walkthrough👣 @TapTapWalk904]

Why PlayStation Shouldn't Abandon Physical Discs

1. Millions of Players Still Buy Physical Games:

Physical discs continue to sell worldwide. Many gamers still prefer owning a physical copy instead of a digital license.

2. True Ownership Matters:

A physical disc gives players something they can keep, collect, lend, or resell—something digital purchases generally don't offer.

3. Better Value for Consumers:

Physical games often become cheaper at retailers, and players can buy used copies or trade games, making gaming more affordable.

4. Not Everyone Has Fast Internet:

Many players still rely on slower or limited internet connections. Physical discs remain an important option for them.

5. Collectors Keep the Brand Alive:

Collector's Editions, steelbooks, and physical shelves are a huge part of PlayStation's identity and gaming culture.

6. Digital Revenue Doesn't Mean Physical Is Irrelevant:

Sony's digital revenue includes DLCs, expansions, microtransactions, subscriptions, and live-service spending—not just full game sales.

That means higher digital revenue doesn't automatically prove that physical games no longer matter.

7. Give Players a Choice:

The best approach isn't physical vs. digital, it's giving players the freedom to choose how they want to buy and own their games.

**My Final Message to PlayStation**

Physical discs are still an important part of the PlayStation ecosystem. While digital is growing and more profitable, millions of players continue to value physical ownership, resale, collecting, and consumer choice. The future can be digital, but it shouldn't come at the cost of eliminating physical media.

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

Naughty Dog is using a banner from Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer, but with physical game discs instead of music CDs🚀

It looks like Naughty Dog wants physical gaming to stay!😎

Though this isn’t a new banner, it is interesting if they’re using it as protest against phasing out physical media and they’d be the most BASED studio🫶🏼

NO DISC NO BUY 💿💪🏼

[Genki✨ @Genki_JPN]

In Death Stranding Hideo Kojima shows his love for physical media through the character Heartman, who has a massive collection of Blu-rays, CDs and vinyls that he can watch and enjoy while being offline.

[Stop Killing Games Official @StopKilingGames]

We’re all just waiting for Sony to make a move, aren’t we? That’s going to be the dogpile of the century.

[MBG @xMBGx]

One of Sony's biggest first party studios profile banner features PlayStation game discs.

How ironic.

❌ PlayStation : C'est terminé pour moi !

Cette publication fait suite à la vidéo publiée ce midi par mon ami @Conkerax que je vous conseille d'aller voir immédiatement si ce n'est déjà fait !

Il est important, pour nous, gamers, de ne pas laisser passer un tel comportement de la part de Sony. Au-delà du débat entre le physique et le numérique, c'est avant tout notre choix et notre liberté qui sont bafoués.

Depuis bientôt 2 ans, je joue majoritairement sur PC, et contrairement à ce que pense la majorité, j'ai malgré tout le choix. Grâce aux différentes plateformes, les possibilités ne manquent pas, et un site comme GOG me permet de posséder mes jeux sans aucun problème.

À côté de cela, j'ai une PS5 (même plusieurs pour être exact) et l'achat sur PC ne m'empêchait pas pour autant d'acheter les versions physiques de ces mêmes jeux pour ma collection. Car oui, j'aime préserver ce qui me tient à cœur depuis maintenant plus de 30 ans.

La décision que vient de prendre Sony est un véritable coup de poignard dans le dos des gens qui les ont soutenus depuis toutes ces années, à tous ces revendeurs en magasins qui les ont faits vivre jusqu'à présent, au marché de l'occasion, au plaisir des bonnes trouvailles en brocantes, de prêter ses jeux entre amis, de découvrir sans pour autant avoir la nécessité de passer à la caisse en dépensant énormément d'argent.

À présent, ma décision est donc ferme, PlayStation c'est terminé ! Ce n'est pas le peu d'exclusivités sur cette génération PS5 qui me feront changer d'avis.

Physical Never Dies ! ✊

[PlatinumPlus @psPlatiumPlus]

Remember! Do not get distracted by the Xbox news today!

Continue to protest and boycott Sony/Playstation to reverse the decision about physical media

We continue our fight until they yield!

[Stop Killing Games Official @StopKilingGames]

According to Sony and many publishers, you don’t own your disc, you never did. Their terms can still restrict access or revoke licenses.

That’s why we fight for consumer law: physical media was one of the last limits on this control.

You will own nothing and be happy.

United we stand. #SavePhysicalGames
