Only 7 PlayStation games have sold over 100,000 physical copies in the US this year, says analyst, as commenters demand discs without buying them
An industry analyst has reported that only seven PlayStation games have sold more than 100,000 physical copies in the United States so far this year, underlining how far console gaming has shifted away from discs and towards digital downloads. The figures have reignited debate among players who say they want physical media to remain available, even though sales data suggests relatively few of them are actually buying it.
The article notes a disconnect between vocal demand for physical releases in online comment sections and the modest physical sales figures the analyst has highlighted. Beyond the headline statistic and the framing of commenters "demanding discs without buying them," the supplied article text did not include further breakdown of specific titles, exact sales numbers, or the analyst's identity.
