💸 Sony is about to erase a $7 billion market
The global used game market was worth $7.2 billion last year, headed for $13.8 billion by 2034. Then Sony announced that all new PlayStation games go digital-only from January 2028.
Analysts at Morningstar and Wedbush are blunt: the pre-owned market will eventually disappear, physical retail is doomed. Sony's logic is equally blunt — digital sales return 100% versus ~65% on disc.
A disc can be resold or played in 20 years. A licence can't. That's not nostalgia, that's ownership.
