    It was always going to be digital only on account of 85%+ of all game sales being digital.

    The digital only PS5 wasn’t a market test though, it was purely a marketing tactic - they barely made 5% of PS5 production digital only ones, but it allowed them to market the PS5 as “from $399”, when in reality it was $499.

      Its 78% actually, up from 76% last year, but that is sales and not users. I would hardly believe that are users that bought all of their games digitally, even the good collection ones.

      My little brother, who started with PS3 as a kid and had/has PS4, PS5 and almost all of his games are in discs, won’t be happy about it.
