It was always going to be digital only on account of 85%+ of all game sales being digital.
The digital only PS5 wasn’t a market test though, it was purely a marketing tactic - they barely made 5% of PS5 production digital only ones, but it allowed them to market the PS5 as “from $399”, when in reality it was $499.
Its 78% actually, up from 76% last year, but that is sales and not users. I would hardly believe that are users that bought all of their games digitally, even the good collection ones.
My little brother, who started with PS3 as a kid and had/has PS4, PS5 and almost all of his games are in discs, won’t be happy about it.
I was only saying the other day, after having all playstations since a PSOne, that I reckon the wind I blowing against the consumer and that the PS5 (disc version) would be my last playstation console.
Unfortunately it turns out I was right, it’s a sad day for gamers. 😮💨
The gonna release PS6 without any physical media option, don’t they? Their PS5 digital edition was only a market test.

The large majority of users are digital only. This isn’t even debatable. The sales figures speak for themselves.
