- The comments point to a continued digital-first strategy.

## Summary

Sony has said it does not expect ending PlayStation disc-based games to harm its business, despite acknowledging that some players hold strong objections to the prospect. The stance matters because it signals that Sony sees a digital-first future as commercially viable even if it risks alienating customers who value physical ownership, resale and game preservation.

The company’s comments appear to reinforce a strategy of moving away from physical media rather than treating fan criticism as a reason to change course. Sony did not identify a specific timetable in the material provided, but its position is that the shift should not have a negative business impact.
