350,000 signatures, a week-long boycott, and Sony still isn't budging on PlayStation discs

Sony has confirmed it will stop producing PlayStation game discs in January 2028, despite a 350,000-signature petition and a planned #PSBlackout boycott from August 23 to 30. CFO Lin Tao said the company will "cautiously move this forward," citing the shift to digital. Sony's Q1 numbers show $1.2 billion in digital game revenue against just $128 million from physical sales.
