Sony Is Going All-Digital—But Investors Should Watch This Instead

Sony announced plans to discontinue physical gaming discs by 2028, which could improve margins but fails to address the larger threat of rising memory costs facing the gaming industry. The move also raises consumer ownership concerns as it eliminates the second-hand market and gives Sony sole control over game pricing and availability. Sony stock remains down 17% in 2026 with limited upside potential despite recent technical improvements.
