@PlayStation You are killing ownership. You are killing legal preservation. You are killing discoverability. You are killing publishers. You are killing developers. This is a move that might slightly improve bottom lines, but tear down every other aspect of this medium. Well done! You f*d up!
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND:
We have to talk about the physical vs digital data, A LOT of people still buy Physical games on PS5.
More than you think, like WAY MORE! Please read and understand what Sony is doing it trying to FORCE DIGITAL games! IMO this should not even be legal:
- FY2025 Full Year (Apr 2025 – Mar 2026) = the digital to physical split was 78%/22%.
But this does NOT tell the whole story. Because this is all games sold, not all games that have physical copies and digital! So majority of the 78/22 split don't even have physical, let's look at some real numbers from leaks and stats we have:
From Insomniac Leak:
- God of War Ragnarök: 76% Physical / 24% Digital
- Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 63% Physical / 37% Digital
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical / 45% Digital
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical / 46% Digital
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical / 51% Digital
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical / 55% Digital
- Hogwarts Legacy: 44% Physical / 56% Digital
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: 40% Physical / 60% Digital
UK / Europe Retail Data (GSD – 2023/2024):
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical (UK) / and 60% Physical (Europe) – 2024
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Hogwarts Legacy: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Horizon Forbidden West: 51% Physical (UK) – 2022
People still buy a lot of physical games on PS5, especially when it's SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. When it's more mp then it goes down to more digital. But please don't just listen to the 78%/22% split, those numbers are overall numbers and don't represent the full story AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE!
Because it's not a fair comparison since all games don't have a physical copy or eventually stop printing it. They are trying to paint a narrative to control prices and take ownership from you, that is the truth and spread it!
@thegalleren@longislandviper He advocates for an all digital ecosystem even though his account got hacked a month ago. PS support was no help, he only got his account back because he knows people at PS. He can see how dangerous it is to be all digital but he advocates for it.
@yosp@ingueferroque@KOMODO_Games_JP Steam OS has a startup video that runs when booted up. You can put your own video or get one from the steam store with steam points. There are some cool videos available.
@PlayStation Looks like the PS5 will be the last playstation console I own. Been a fan since the PS1. Thanks for making it easy. I can just focus on spending my money on Nintendo games now.
As PlayStation announces that it will end PS3 Store purchases in July 2027, it's important that all of its content is preserved before it's lost forever!
You can help contribute missing metadata to https://t.co/nTMVShvMu7, which is documenting all known PS3 digital content.
Malaysians have a word for politicians who switch parties: katak — frogs. 🐸

The most important part of the announcement:
"Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027."
Evidently 50% of formal workers earn less than 3k. Which means there would be very little capacity to save.
I know plenty of degrees holders in this category.
And yet Anwar and Adam Adli decided that hiring debt collectors to chase after student debt is a good idea.
