Gee…

And how many digital editions were sold to people who wished they could have gotten one with a disc drive?

The numbers are in, Sony. Don’t sit there and say ‘Nobody wants to buy discs anymore.’ Almost everyone. Almost everyone wants to buy discs anymore.

How come console gamers are the only ones still making a push for discs?

Because it all routes through one digital storefront without the possibility of competition, so digital pricing on console storefronts is artificially high.

Plus, they’ve already shut down stores on older consoles and people have lost games. That’s less likely as console companies learn how to make competent digital storefronts and account systems, many have felt the burn of losing all your digital purchases on console and won’t let it happen twice.
