PS6 will need a disc drive, according to this ex-PlayStation boss
Former Sony Interactive Entertainment president Shawn Layden believes the PlayStation 6 must include a disc drive to avoid alienating a significant portion of the player base who still rely on physical media. He argues that a fully digital console would be a mistake, citing regional internet limitations and the continued demand for physical game purchases, even as services like Xbox Game Pass grow.
