With technology evolving faster than ever before, it should come as no surprise that many industry leaders are predicting the Playstation 4 to switch to entirely Digital media upon it’s release, but Kaz Hirai, Sony Computer Entertainment’s CEO, suggests this prediction is one that should be taken with a pinch of salt.
In a recent interview, Hirai acknowledged the the convenience of digital downloads, but went on to say that Sony works in areas in which simply relying on digital content would not make sense for the Playstation 4. When he was questioned on some peoples thoughts that a 100% switch to digital media would happen anyway, Hirai stated that to think all software would be available as a digital download within the next 10 years is “taking it a little bit to the extreme”.
Sony have tried all digital content for the “PSP Go” but this move has been heavily blamed for a large proportion of the major losses that Sony have endured – another reason why sticking with physical media for the Playstation 4 seems so important – and let’s not forget, some retailers rely heavily upon the sale of used games – if Sony were to make a full switch over to digital with the Playstation 4, these sales would no longer exist, and it wouldn’t just be Sony who would suffer from the Playstation 4.

Today at the Playstation 4 Forums, we have made big changes to our Playstation Forum. Not only have we completely reorganised the forums, we have completely changed the design to integrate it with the main website.
The Playstation Forum has been added in the hope that we can create one of the best Playstation Forums on the net today. While the PS4 Release Date may be a few years away yet, the forum is there for you to talk amongst other like minded gamers about the latest rumor, news, and speculation regarding the Sony PS4 – but it doesn’t end there! We have added several off-topic sections for your entertainment, so come check us out at the Playstation Forum. here at The PS4 Forums.
You have probably noticed, especially over the last few months, that we have been constantly expanding the website. We feel that we are close to becoming the leading Playstation 4 News website now, and with your help and suggestions in the future we can continue to be so. So take a few minutes to come check out the rest of the site and the forum – and be sure to signup and say hello!
