For those who don't know, there has been somewhat of an uproar due to Playstation's announcement about stopping making disks.

The lack of affordability in the console space will do more. I'd ballpark 95% of playstation purchasers have no idea about Sony's announcement. And when it finally happens, they'll just do whatever they need to do to make the game run. But if they just can't justify the money it takes to do what they need to do, then sony won't get the money, and they'll notice.

But no, playstation won't notice the blip of people who refuse to purchase for long-term ownership reasons.
