Analyst: PS5 disc backlash is a "vocal minority of a revenue minority"

Sony will stop producing discs for PlayStation consoles in January 2028. Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott said the outcry comes from a vocal minority, though physical copies account for 30–40% of single-player PS5 sales versus under 10% for sports titles.

• Sony ends new disc production for PlayStation in January 2028
• Discs make up 30–32% of PS5 sales for Resident Evil: Requiem and Wolverine
• Pragmata and Onimusha: The Way of the Sword exceed 40% physical
• FC 27, Madden 27 and MLB The Show 26 are below 10% on disc
