PlayStation losing Kojima would be a mythical screw up in any console generation except this one. As Sony has already been hellbent on burning down everything it built up.

As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.

Frenzied combat and immaculate tonal synchronicity between its narrative and gameplay make Onimusha: Way of the Sword one of the most humbling yet picture-perfect action games of this decade. My review for @DotEsports dotesports.com/general/revie…

GTA 6 revenue has probably already exceeded the equivalent to one million units sold because of the Netflix deal. I doubt we'll get exact numbers, but it was a significant amount to make Take-Two take that deal.

Good spot. Basically more dependency on PS Store gift cards which PlayStation India is purposely knee-capping.
PlayStation Store Digital Buyers Be Aware! Bank will now charge 3.5% plus GST 0.5% on PS Store Games/Services(PS+) Transactions. These are called Dynamic Currency Charges. Get PS Gift Card for instant Redeem & Refund to PS Account and/or Apply for Forex Card. #PS5 #India

PlayStation: you can’t own the games you buy. PS fans: ok. PlayStation: oh and you can’t buy gift cards or wallet top ups at will or use a payment method of your choice while you’re at it. Welcome to the utter state of PlayStation in big 2026. highchaosrun.com/2026/07/09/…

Holy shit. A good Shiv Aroor take. Anyway: yeah he gets it. The entire culture goes away. That said: India is going to get rocked hard since we’re still about 50% physical game sold. Retail and distribution sectors are going to get hit bad here.
😢 Sony Playstation announces no more physical CDs for games from 2028, will move to all digital. Fellow gamer & colleague @PatnaikKrutarth joins me to explain:

Also might as well pirate everything. The industry is hell-bent on ensuring you never quite own what you buy.

🚨 INSIDER UPDATE: PlayStation 5 Pro Could Finally Be Heading to India! 🇮🇳🎮 It looks like Indian gamers may not have to wait much longer. I recently spoke with an authorized PlayStation dealer, who indicated that the PlayStation 5 Pro is expected to become available in India around August. ⚠️ Important: This is not an official announcement from Sony. Treat this as insider information until PlayStation India confirms the launch and pricing. If accurate, this would finally bring the PS5 Pro to the Indian market after months of anticipation. 💬 Would you buy a PS5 Pro, or are you waiting for the PlayStation 6? Follow @GameNetCorp for the latest PlayStation news, leaks, and updates.

Pre ordering a digital game 5 months ahead is mental. It’s not like they’ll run out of digital copies of GTA6.

VGP 👍
A Statement from VGP Regarding Grand Theft Auto VI As gamers and retailers, we recognize that Grand Theft Auto VI is poised to be one of the biggest entertainment launches in history. The excitement surrounding this release is unprecedented, and we understand why so many customers are eagerly anticipating its arrival. For nearly 40 years, VGP has been committed to supporting physical media and preserving the value of physical game ownership. As part of that commitment, our company policy is that we do not carry physical products for video game consoles that contain only a digital download code. Based on the information currently available, the physical release of Grand Theft Auto VI for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is expected to be a code-in-box product. As a result, VGP will not be offering it for sale under our current company policy. We want to be clear that this decision is not a reflection of the game itself. We have tremendous respect for Rockstar Games and the incredible achievement that Grand Theft Auto VI represents. Should Rockstar one day release a physical edition containing a disc in the box, we would be pleased to carry and support that version for our customers. Thank you for your continued support of physical gaming and for helping us champion game preservation and ownership for nearly four decades. — The VGP Team

With GTA 6 ditching the disc we probably won’t ever see this again. Thank you @rockstargames for killing the community that forms around video games just to make a few bucks. Hope it was worth it. #GTA6
Blast from the past. The first midnight launch I covered. GTA 5. 2013. Fun times.

Talk about speedrunning any shred of goodwill into the dumpster fire. Yikes. It’s like aunty never looked at how the math on subscriptions never worked to begin with, which is why they’re in the hole they’re in right now.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma hints they are planning on moving away from having customers buying consoles and instead going to a monthly rental or subscription program She says it's hard to imagine people continuing to spend thousands of dollars on future console generations This is code for you will own nothing and we will charge you monthly for a product forever

Xbox's strategy so far under Asha seems to have been just cheap wins and chasing their tail. I'm not sure why they feel so inclined to talk so much and do interviews, but they should probably just stay silent until they have a plan in place. If people in the industry are confused about what they are doing, I can't imagine how confusing it is for a casual gamer.
