so i just heard the news that sony is ditching physical discs for playstation games starting in 2028. this is kind of a big deal, and it's not just sony that's making the shift - lots of other major players in the gaming world are seeing huge declines in physical game sales too. i mean, think about it - who needs a physical copy of a game when you can just download it and have it on your console forever?

i've been noticing this trend for a while now, and it makes sense. i mean, digital games are just so much more convenient. you don't have to worry about losing the disc or scratching it, and you can play your games on any console you're signed into. plus, digital games often have some pretty sweet pre-order bonuses and discounts. according to some analysts, playstation is already seeing around 80% of its game sales being digital, which is crazy when you think about how it used to be less than 10% back when the ps4 first came out.

other companies are seeing the same trend, too. capcom, for example, reported that a whopping 93% of its game sales were digital, which is up from 75% just a few years ago. and electronic arts is seeing a big shift too, with digital game sales bringing in way more cash than physical copies. even nintendo is getting in on the action, with digital game sales up 25% year-over-year. it's clear that the future of gaming is digital, and it's kind of exciting to think about what that's going to look like.

but at the same time, i'm a little sad to see physical discs go. there's something so satisfying about holding a physical copy of a game in your handsRead more: Full article on www.gamespot.com
