seeing these big companies downplay physical medium when there's still a audience that still support physical shows we're living in dark times imo.
Started from Atari 2600 Jr and now after all these years, if this actually happens, I will be saying goodbye to consoles and gaming forever. I guess best thing to do is teo buy HDD’s and SDDs, install all the games you already have on disc and their updates and keep them for future use. Cause when those servers shut down and when the PS store for the console expires, you aint gonna be able to play any of them even if you hve the discs
I feel like this is one of the moments were Nintendo being super conservative as they are may help physical media stay alive or atleast take a little longer before its all gone, they were stubborn of just changing from cartridges to discs and they are still holding on to that even to this day with the Switch being cartridges, so i feel like as long as they are in a good spot like with the Switch right now they will keep with the physical media, unless they end up having a flop like it was with the N64 that forced them to go into discs
Yea Nintendo probably will keep physical discs/cartridges lot longer then Sony & Microsoft do
The Xbox 1 is my last game console
This is something I've had an issue with for a while now. Even if you purchase a game today on physical media you technically could have that game taken from you if Microsoft or whoever suddenly decide not to host the downloadable files on their servers.
I even picked up a PS4 really cheap lately, and to play COD which was included in the package the system forced me to do a full download of all the DLC and online crap before it would allow me to play campaign mode. So the days of actually having the full game right out of the box ended a while ago anyway.
Whilst I personally don't have an issue with digital download only media, I think there needs to be some assurances that the media you buy today will still be available on future generations. Which of course will never happen, companies like Rockstar and Bethesda have made millions even billions by selling us the same game over what is now 3 console generations (GTA V and Skyrim respectively to name but two)
Simple you don't connect that console to internet...
I was fooled by the series s thinking it was like the Xbox one S design with a few changes but basically the same console due to the price. You know how fucking pissed I was when it had no disc drive & had only 300gb of storage for a bloody all digital console. now I had no Xbox one as it broke & now am stuck with a bunch of games I was playing not being available because my disc drive no exist.
Yea I know I hope we don't go all digital but Microsoft wants to go there sooner then Sony & Nintendo
@@techngamingreviews7606 yeah but I think with current trends for DVD sales rising again after streaming services have continued to enshitten themselves they might realise its not the best choice.
You just said yourself. Games are cheaper physical. If not at the shop then second hand. So why would you commit to digital. Makes no sense
Why would ps6 cut off half its user base wouldnt ps6 be bc with ps4 and ps5
The next Xbox and PS6 will be digital only, yesterday a japanese newspaper reported that sony will gradually cease production of optical discs
last year was reported that 83% of games sold on consoles, were digital, if we add PC, it's 95%, and physical continues to decline
Even most people say that Nintendo will continue to support physical media, the gaming landscape has changed a lot since Nintendo released the switch, these days all the competitors are 100% digital, like smartphones, tablets, the handheld PCs: steam deck, asus rog ally, lenovo legion go, logitech G cloud, xbox with their game pass/cloud service on Xbox, PC, smartphones and now even on Amazon Fire sticks, which supposedly is a potential market of 240 million users.
Apple is also releasing triple a games on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Netflix have also thrown their hat into the ring.
It makes sense, no optical drive lowers the cost. The only physical media I've used since the early days of Xbox One has been either something I've picked up really cheaply from a 2nd hand store, or games that are discontinued on the storefront (Deadpool as an example)
With Game Pass and Playstation Plus I rarely even look at new releases these days, inevitably they'll be on those services or at least at a reasonable price on sale by the time I'm considering playing them.
Last console im ever gonnae buy then
So it's gonna be the absolute last generation of consoles. For me at least. The future of gaming is unfortunately on PC sales. I'm not gonna buy bits from the internet at full price. Never. I have bought one new game at full price digitally and I'm still pissed because of that as they released the game physically later even though they were not supposed to. That game was Baldurs gate 3.
PS6 will have disc drive
I wouldnt hope on it Sony just layed off 250 people that make the physical discs of there games
@@techngamingreviews7606 laydoff don't mean nothing lol
Well guess ps5 will be my last generation 😅
GTA6 is not gonna get a disc release then? Hard pass.
GTA 6 will release on current gen consoles, so yes it will get a physical release.
Take Two confirmed it will be on X/S and PS5 back in May.
its all good 90% of next gen will be rainbow flags and nonsense anyway if the world keeps going the way it is
