    Some beancounter at Sony realized that they could increase margins by a tiny amount if they removed physical disks. I bet they haven’t factored in the reputation loss from doing so and in the end it will come out that the margin gain will be overshadowed by the loss of sales.

      I just think this’ll be a massive boon for Nintendo, if they can resist shitty decisions themselves. The Switch 2 was a bust –

      My reasoning

      7.9" LCD, 279ppi 1080p when the standard is OLED, 500+ppi and 1440p+, and the size, while improving, is too close to a smartphone. Paired with a basic size battery and it has a disappointing battery life.

      – but Nintendo have the potential to be a hero in the next few years. As for Xbox, they have never been popular enough to overtake Sony, as well as also making shit decisions.

        Nintendo isn’t a competitor with Xbox and PlayStation. It’s effectively a separate market with only one participant.
