    Blu ray discs cost pennies to manufacture, especially at scale.

    Also, Sony owns the blu ray IP.

    Also also, if they gave a fuck they could just ship 2 discs in a box. Like they did at the tail end of the xbox 360 days.

    They’d just rather not deal with it anymore.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony stops producing Blu-ray soon.

      We have the technology for the next generation of discs that could support 8k. It just happens to be that no one wants to put money into creating the standard.

      Sony may not want to deal with it anymore.
