PlayStation has been hiding behind Rockstar’s GTA 6 to push their all-digital strategy🚀 It’s no surprise that GTA VI was announced as digital-only/code in a box merely few days before Sony announced ending physical media by 2028, plus the marketing deal with PlayStation. Sony wanted to engineer the narrative that everyone was gonna buy a digital only game, thereby pretending physical media has no audience or necessity. The thing is Grand Theft Auto VI was always gonna sell well. The game could launch as broken as MINDSEYE and it would still sell 20 million copies or more in its launch weekend. People were literally trading in crypto to get any leak of the game, so it’s not surprising at all that people would buy the game digital only and buy a PS5 Pro on the hopes that they’d get the best version of it. GTA5 was the biggest entertainment product of all time, after all. And this is the successor 13 years in the waiting. So instead of saying “Sony proved everyone wrong”, just look at The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake and see just how many people preferred to pay $10 more to line up by hundreds to get the game physically. So just imagine what GTA6 would’ve done if it came on disc. The question is, do you think Intergalactic will do just as good? Do you think any other Sony game would do even remotely? Would they be moving consoles? After the GTA6 hype calms down, how well do you think Sony will be doing? At best, they’ve been trying to cover up the terrible image they created the last few months by pretending “hey look we’re selling anyway!” But it’s all lies and fake narratives as always. Good luck selling PlayStation 6 at $1000-1200 with no games, no generation leap and no discs, because we’ve seen what a generation full of remasters and cross gens looks like 😅💿
