PlayStation’s Response to the Physical Disc Backlash Is Not Reassuring
Sony Group Corporation has confirmed its decision to cease new game disc production for PlayStation consoles starting January 2028, despite significant backlash from fans. The company cites the overall progression of digitalization as the primary reason, with CFO Lin Tao stating that the decision was carefully considered and will be cautiously moved forward. While acknowledging fan sentiment, Sony does not anticipate a significant short-term or long-term business impact, as digital sales already constitute the majority of their software revenue.
