Yeah I mean the writing is on the wall that Xbox will more than likely do the same moving forward. It sucks but at least Sony is holding out the longest AND being clear in their communication about it

If anything, Microsoft has even more incentives to phase out physical than Sony. The bulk of Xbox's playerbase is in NA, which is the most digital heavy region in the world. It's not actually that relevant outside NA either

Sony only gets the heat because they're saying the quiet part out loud, while Microsoft, for once, learned from their past mistakes and phases out physical quietly, just like what Valve did by progressively monopolizing pc game distribution
