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

No. Convenience always wins. Same reason people decided streaming is better than owning.

Some percent of those upset and boycotting will simply give it up. These things have about a 2-4 week lifespan. Then they'll just miss their PlayStation and everything will be over, except they'll own even less.

And the same thing that could also work in Win365's favor against PCs should it get a consumer tier.
