What Sony's end of physical discs signals about a digital-only PlayStation 6

Summary

Sony's recent announcement that it will stop producing physical disc-based media for most of its markets signals a clear shift toward an all-digital future for PlayStation. While the company hasn't explicitly mentioned the PS6, the article analyzes how this move provides strong clues about Sony's plans for its next-generation console. Key inferences include: the PS6 will likely be a digital-only console (possibly with an optional disc drive add-on), Sony is preparing its infrastructure and user base for this transition now, and the move follows industry trends set by competitors and the declining market share of physical game sales. The article also discusses implications for game preservation, consumer choice, retail, and the used game market.
