Expert: Sony is just waiting for everyone to calm down
According to Kantan Games analyst Serkan Toto, Sony is not going to reconsider its decision to abandon the production of disc versions of games from 2028, despite a huge wave of criticism from the audience of PlayStation consoles.In a conversation with IGN, he said that the company knew in advance what the audience reaction would be, but considers it temporary.Sony is simply waiting for everyone to calm down and is not going to make any concessions.
The market researcher believes that massive protests online are unlikely to have a noticeable impact on PlayStation's business.The company is confident that its losses will be limited and its future gains will be much greater.
As an example, Toto cited the subscription service PlayStation Plus, which has an audience of about 50 million people.Even if we assume that 500,000 players cancel their subscriptions in protest, that would only amount to about 1% of the total user base - too small a loss to force Sony to change course.
After the announcement of the cessation of production of disc versions of games, social networks and official PlayStation platforms were filled with negative comments.Fans of the brand are openly calling on Sony to abandon its plans.The company did not publish news messages for a whole week, and has now returned to normal work and does not respond in any way to calls from PlayStation 5 owners.
