And now it's confirmed. Physical games acted as an anchor point for game prices, because you could always rent, trade or buy used games. Here in the UK, physical games are often cheaper than their digital counterparts because retailers will compete on price. For example, Wolverine is £69.99 on the PlayStation Store, but £62.99 from Currys. Same exact game, but the physical is £7 cheaper, and I can trade it or sell it.
This is defacto confirmation that the PS6 will be a digital-only console, and Xbox already gave up on physical media years ago. You can prepare for much higher game prices going forward.

I don't think they get enough praise so thanks to my @RoyalMail postie for being kind enough to wrap a package that didn't fit in my parcel box in a plastic bag to stop it getting soaked today. It's nice to have a service that still delivers with care.
