Sony gibt zu: Wir haben uns geirrt !?

Overview

The video argues that Sony’s announced shift away from physical game discs (claimed for 2028) triggered strong backlash from the gaming community. The host frames the reaction as “justified anger” and even describes it as being in “rage mode.”

The host also claims Sony has since contradicted its earlier direction. Specifically, an update from Sony Santa Monica reportedly confirmed that at least upcoming titles—most notably a new God of War—will still be available on physical disc. This raises questions about whether Sony underestimated demand for physical media.
