💯, and despite being one the most anti-consumer companies around, the tens of millions of fanboys will buy their stuff no questions asked, and defend them to the end of the earth on all major gaming forums. Neogaf, Resetera, Reddit, ign, etc are all basically Sony fan sites where basically everyone hopes and prays for a PlayStation monopoly.
Note having said that, this was inevitable as physical game sales are basically dead. It makes sense. It’ll upset a bunch of people, but they’ll still buy every PlayStation console, sub to PS+, and buy all their games on PlayStation.
I read 1 in 7 PS5 games are sold on disk. That’s a minority but it’s certainly not a dead market. That means 14% of the sales potentially lost if they’re unable to convert the customer. Ironically this weekend my internet went out and we spent the whole holiday playing games and movies on disk.
