Former PlayStation Executive Says He’s “A Totally Digital Consumer” on Subject of Discs

Former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida stated he is a "totally digital consumer" and prefers not to manage physical discs, aligning with the convenience of digital distribution. He acknowledged the value of physical games for collectors but argued that the necessity of downloading patches and updates makes the absence of a disc less significant. Yoshida also suggested that flexible digital pricing and regular discounts could mitigate concerns about the loss of the second-hand market.
