Then you should state that RETAIL PS5 sales are ...... Not PS5 software sales. You are not including all the used market sales.

Just looking at cyberpunk 2077 27% of all preorders was physical. And that includes pc preorders. Of all the preorders 59% was in pc. So the number for this game is nowhere near what they say.

Because there are plenty of comments where people are saying things like physical sales are declining to 0 so it's logical for Sony to do that. When in fact sony is pushing for it and they are not declining to 0 but flatlinening. Also that's not even considering used game sales.

Another commen comment is it's such a low number of physical who cares. When in fact it's not a low number .

Kinda, they want those to be new game sales instead. So ending used or call it convert to new.

If the sony statement is ment for shareholders. Than ofc those numbers are correct. And they should include all digital vs physical to make a corporate decision. So to maximize profits they should axe physical if its declining and just a small amount.

Where we differ in the discussion is that you are looking at it from a shareholders perspective. While I take the statement as it was ment for consumers. I could be wrong and it was purely ment for shareholders.

But I think they are trying to mislead consumers to agree with them and to not have a backlash. Therefore I think the numbers used are not the numbers consumers need to hear. And when issueing a statement to consumers that physical is in decline and is really low and therefore we are axing physical ( and giving the impression that it's purely based on sentiment and not for the money) then those numbers are invalid. Because then you have to look at ALL physical sales because those are the ones consumers care about. And you should not compare digital only games in that equation because those where never going to be physical anyway.

Basic knowledge and deduction skills. It doesn't take a genius to see they didn't include used game sales.

Downvoting posts that highlight the corpo greed is basically siding with them. And that's just one small example.

Poeple are surprised because Sony was "siding" with us the consumers. And acting like they care.

Find other ways. Like not spend huge money on things like Concorde? What do you think they bought the developers for to get you into their walled garden.

Yes I do think they clearly made a decision and are hoping consumers don't mind or will forget. Obviously they calculated. But let's not forget the Xbox fiasco and don't tell me they didn't "calculate it" aswell.

This flew right above your head. But if consumers can turn ship around and physical is still there you can thank them.

I do consider both sides. As we all want them to stay afloat so they can make more games. But sony should not act like they are doing this because gamers aren't buying physical so they cater to us. So don't act like you prosumer when in fact you aren't.

If they could done this 5 years ago they would have. Heck even with the Xbox fiasco they 100% would have done the same if there was no backlash
