Matt Piscatella from Anal.organization Circana showed how sales of physical games were falling every year. Previously, in the 2000s, physical games on the PlayStation sold in much larger quantities.So in 2008, more than 100 games were able to sell more than 100 thousand copies on disk in the first half of the year.Then digitalization began and now this number has dropped to its very minimum.In 2009, there was a peak in sales: then 292 million physical copies of games were sold, and since then the numbers have gradually fallen.In 2026, only 37 million physical copies were sold during the same 12-month period.Previously, gamers were angry with Matt because of his words about weak disc sales, believing that he supported Sony’s corporate decision.And the analyst decided to go out and prove that it’s time for gamers to shut their mouths and start doing something, and not shout into the void.
