The industry is reeling at the moment from Sony's announcement that it'll be ending new physical discs for PlayStation consoles in 2028. Though the pivot appears quite sudden, barring more extraneous market factors, a new report suggests it's been coming for some time, and the main factory involved is already changing direction.
This comes from ORF Salzburg, an Austrian outlet who spoke to the head of Sony's flagship disc-producing plant in Thalgau about the shifting tide in business. Apparently, some 600,000 discs come out of the facility every single day, 50% of which are for PlayStation devices.
