Sony’s sock puppet media continues to push Sony’s narrative to make it look like physical games have no demand, but it’s all manipulation🚀
✅Sony shipped nearly 70 million physical PlayStation discs worldwide in FY2025
✅In the UK, physical market exceeded £300 million in 2025, with 25% of young gamers (under 25) still using discs
✅In Spain, physical sales hit €294 million. While digital revenue seems higher (61.9%), it is heavily inflated by the inclusion of DLCs, subscriptions, and mobile apps.
✅Around 121 countries lack reliable internet or a dedicated PlayStation Store, making physical discs a strict necessity rather than just a preference.
✅Phasing out physical games is a profit-driven move that threatens game ownership.
✅Allowing companies to eliminate physical media gives them unchecked monopoly power over pricing and availability, a shift that will eventually hurt digital consumers, too.

@charlieINTEL Also from Circana—82% of all console sales have disc drives. Which means people pay an extra $100 for the option to play real games they own.
They have all shown their true colors this generation🚀
✅PlayStation: wants to end physical media, and player ownership, 2nd hand market and create a monopoly, all that after wasting a whole generation on live service slop and cross gens, and shutting down studios.
✅Nintendo: creating slop with graphics from 3 generations ago for $80 on some games and thinks government tariff refunds are theirs while they’re happy to rob players.
✅Xbox: barely any games for a whole generation, decisions made on the fly without any real plan, creating a low end console that detailed this generation and glazing game pass which cost many studios their livelihood since they cultivated the mentality of not buying games.
All of that, and they’re all projecting their failure onto players, blaming them for their own shortcomings as if we owe them something.
Enough is enough!
We decide what’s worth our money.
No other industry is as entitled as the creative side of the gaming industry.
Just because it’s entertainment doesn’t mean we should accept the lowest standards, no respect, and an ever-shrinking value.
Speak loud
Fight for the value your see fit
You got the money, you got the power
