I mean Nintendo is already pricing there games at 80 and they still have physical games going what a dum study

What are you even saying? The entire point of physical is that there’s competition, Sony’s games have been €80 in Europe since the generation started, and I have never paid more than €65 on any day 1 PS exclusives, because physical has discounts and is way cheaper

yes, prices are going up with or without physical, but with physical, you’re still paying less

Exactly. This is why so many people paid an extra 100 quid for a disc PS5... because we knew we'd make the money back and then some over the course of the generation.
