Very interesting in my view. In a lot of online discussions, people are often dismissing physical media, but it seems the majority of consumers prefer to have a disc drive (myself included). This also gives me hope, that the next generation of consoles will also come with a disc drive, giving us more options to buy games.

When consoles go digital only, it will be the end of consoles.
You can’t sell the hardware without a physical presence of games, otherwise you fall into the PS Vita trap of “it doesn’t have any games!”
I like having a physical product when I’m spending $40-$70 on a game. When it’s less than that, I’m generally okay with it.
But if consoles go digital, I’ll still buy it. But I’m going to be a lot more patient with my purchases.
I hope your optimism is warranted. It feels just as likely that they will take the opposite lesson and learn that offering a drive at all is a mistake
