- U.S. PlayStation sales data shows digital dominance over physical discs, per a Forbes piece citing new numbers and a separate Verge headline calling out the digital shift in U.S. PlayStation sales.
- An ex-Valve writer attributes the move to consumer demand, saying shoppers pushed PlayStation toward killing the disc, according to TechPowerUp's coverage.
