Not interested in a PS6 as I have loads of PS4 and PS5 games on disc and very few digital purchases for my PS5 Pro (with disc drive, obviously!).
The idea of investing my money into an all-digital games library with Sony just makes me uncomfortable as they've been hacked numerous times and you hear regular reports of people having their accounts stolen despite having 2FA enabled etc etc. Also, Sony have an awful refund policy, it's basically non-existent, they remove digital movies from people's libraries and I really wouldn't put it past them to raise game prices once they have full control of their storefront pricing.
PC is a much safer bet; it is my primary gaming system anyway and it's proven as I've been buying digital games for over 15 years now and the vast majority of them have been cheaper third-party keys that allow me to get the premium/deluxe version for less than the standard version on Steam. That for me makes up for the lack of ownership and resell value, plus Steam have yet to remove games from my library. I can still download and play OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast with mods despite the game having been delisted years ago.
