alt Hacker NewsI agree with all of those points. The market unfortunately doesn't. Physical sales constitute only a quarter on the PlayStation platform (even less according to Sony). Most if not all of the top 10 games by player count are online only anyway.
If Sony does go all digital with the PS6 they'll only lose a small fraction of loyal gamers and they just don't give a fuck.
Piracy on the PlayStation? Also not gonna happen. At least not for online games and that's where the money is.
> Piracy on the PlayStation? Also not gonna happen.
Piracy has a long history on the PlayStation, going all the way back to the PS1. Every PlayStation (home console and handheld) has had a mod/homebrew scene, including plenty of access to pirated games. I don't see why the PS6 would be any different, regardless of whether the games are distributed digitally or not. The only difference is that more people will be drawn to it if the prices of games are kept high through no second hand market.
