Sony’s PlayStation Disc Decision Jeopardizes $7 Billion Resale Market
Sony will end physical disc production for new PlayStation games by the end of 2027, transitioning to digital-only releases starting in 2028. This move, while economically beneficial for Sony, eliminates consumer options like reselling and lending physical copies, impacting the used game market. Critics argue this is an anti-consumer shift, contrasting with the PC market’s organic digital adoption.
