Ken Kutaragi ‘understands’ why PlayStation fans don’t want to give up physical games

Ken Kutaragi, known as the Father of PlayStation, addressed the debate regarding physical games following Sony's plan to end PS5 disc support by 2028. While Kutaragi understands why fans value physical ownership, he argues that physical media makes no economic sense for networked devices. He compared the situation to smartphones, where users accept digital content without physical copies. Kutaragi suggests that game companies must shift consumer sentiment regarding digital ownership to align with modern technology.
