Not sure what qualifies being a Sony fan in this case? I'm primarily a PC gamer but I've owned every PlayStation generation including the PSP, so PlayStation has always kind of been my main side platform for exclusives like Bloodborne, Last Guardian, Gravity Rush, etc and legacy Sony properties like Gran Turismo, Wipeout, Hot Shots Golf, etc.

The disc issue isn't that important to me personally but it's just the cherry on top of the entire Jim Ryan / Hermen Hulst era of running the brand / platform into the ground. I don't care about or connect with most of Sony's game library right now and there's shockingly few titles I care about.

- The Last Of Us / Uncharted titles are solid but honestly over rated.
- The Horizon games are boring as fuck.
- The Insomniac Spiderman titles are some of the least interesting properties Spiderman has ever been involved in.
- The God of War titles are ok but I can live without them.

It all just feels too steralized and isn't hitting the creative bars I've come to love from Sony. When I think about what I'd actually lose by not owning my PS5 it's down to Ghost of Yotei, Demon Souls remake, and Astro Bot... Three whole games. Ghost of Yotei wasn't as good as Tsushima and I could live without it. Bluepoint is dead so no more remakes of classics. Which just leaves Astro Bot and team Asobi, the last sliver of soul from the old Sony and the only team left worth giving a shit about. As much as I enjoyed Astro Bot, I'm not about to drop $1000 to play it, so I'm out.

I've been with Sony from day one, but I'm probably not going to bother with the PS6.

I just don't trust with a digital library, I don't like that they've abandoned consumer choice and honestly, their first party line up just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Yup, sony going all digital ps6 onwards is like ur gf asking u to "lets go on a break", in theory it could mean noting awful but chances(close to 100%) are she just wanna get plowed by chads w/o feeling any remorse, it simply means relationship ended and that girl(same like sony) totally lost respect for u.

Im baffled by the fact this thread is for sony fans only and yet there seems to be non virgin people in it ?
As for me, as a sony fan i enjoy the shitstorm.

Sony seemed to have lost its n°1 anticonsumer corporation some years ago to Apple and their brainless drones fanbase. But with a move like this, the rankings have to move and they might have gotten back the p4p asshole company title.

That being said i'll buy the ps6 if the bullshit gameplay trailers are convincing enough.

I'll be honest, this is the worst generation for gaming. It's not just about the games, it's about the greed and direction it's going. I've retreated more to retro gaming and spent my money there. Modern gaming is pushing me away and my attitude isn't so positive towards it right now. The industry is in shambles and headed towards a cliff.

Having said that, I am holding out for 3 titles, FF7, P6 and Jedi 3. I'll probably keep going down the retro path, some PC and some Switch 2. I'll support titles like Mina, Marvel invasion, Terminator 2, TMNT.

I won't be jumping into PS6 day one, Sony will have to earn it this time. Usually I jump in blindly, not this time.

I was a big Playstation guy up until 2017/2018, when they completely abandoned the Japanese market and only started making Triple A movie slop games, hell I would even go as far as saying that I enjoyed the Xbox One and the Series X more than the PS4 and PS5 ( PC is of course superior to all of them ).


The only way I would even consider buying a PS6 is if Sony :

1 - Started reviving all the classic IPs they abandoned years ago ( Buzz, Socom, Killzone, Resistance, Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, Twisted Metal, MotorStorm etc ).

2 - Reversed the decision to end physical media .

3 - Revised the terms of service to be more costumer friendly, and no BS banning PS accounts if you don't play for a period of three years.

Recent news did not affect me whatsoever and I couldn't care less to be honest. I've been digital only (PC) for way over a decade. The price tag of the PS6 at launch is actually what will be the decider for me.

i m full digital from 2010.
Other options (PC, xbox) are full digital and subscription based anyway.
There is no real alternative and it personally doesnt affect me at all.
Only problem is i wont be able to borrow games, which isnt THAT big of a deal as it was 2-3 games per year max.
I would like for the retail discs to exist as an option, but it was inevitable. We have already voted with our wallets, years ago. It wont change
I ll be buying PS6, except if something catastrophic happens. eg $2k price point and laughable specs.

Xbox is full digital since when? I buy my physical for Xbox..

Not denying they are a heading the same direction as Sony but stating that Xbox is fully digital is a straight up lie.

Haven't bought disc for more than ten years, so don't really care about current mess
Will buy PS6 day1, same as I did with other consoles since PS3, for convenience gaming, PC is too much of a bother to play on
