I don’t even own a PlayStation and haven’t since the PS3 but I truly hope Sony takes a financial hit on this one. Others such as Microsoft and Nintendo are paying very close attention to the results. If they manage to get away with this you know other consoles won’t be far behind them. Hell, they already tried around 2020 causing the start of the whole GameStop short fiasco. Now they’re trying to do it once again.
That being said, Sony doesn’t give a flying fuck about a blackout. You want to really hit them where it hurts? Dump them. It’s the only way.
Microsoft were going full digital next gen no matter what Sony did, as the next Xbox is a pc.
Nintendo will keep doing physical games for the foreseeable future as it’s much more necessary with handhelds.
If 10% of the physical game buyers convert to digital and stick around, it will likely be a net profit for Sony. I’d wager that number will be closer to 75% of “physical only” players just move to digital too.
