As gaming software sales have dropped significantly over the lifespans of the PS4/PS5 vs the overall sales of the PS3, it becomes apparent that digital game sales are winning in this day and age. In 2019 the physical software sales for PlayStation were 6% of their revenue. That number has decreased year over year and what they are trying to do is make up the difference by shunting people to subscription services like PS+. We knew this already. This data has been spread out over several articles especially over the last 2 days. https://www.resetera.com/threads/playstation-only-made-3-percent-of-its-money-from-physical-games-sales-last-year-decline-comes-amid-rumors-the-ps6-will-have-a-detachable-disc-drive.1298754/?__cf_chl_f_tk=Yoi4Otjfg4PCM6UxPYx0.9qVGrSBt1EtIb6ar5y7J2c-1783185677-1.0.1.1-ocB6TpBYux8vHfjbxBRohy1usls7Qm.rQyZu.CNjtDk if you need real data check retail: "With $11.6 billion generated in 2008 and $1.5 billion in 2025 that means new physical video game sales have fallen 87 percent in the last 17 years"
