ON THE OTHER HAND, THE MAJORITY OF XBOX CONSOLE SOLD WILL BE DIGITAL ONLY.
Either by:
1. Equipping the Digital Edition with double the SSD capacity and selling at $499 or $549.
2. BOTH versions at $399 or $449. Digital Edition comes with Knack 3 pack-in. (to make up for the lack of disc drive)
As a consequence:

As a consequence:
- It will shape the narrative that you can share games as usual on PS5.
- It will be promoted by your local video game store as it doesn't threaten their very existence.
Ratio:
- Local video game shop will refuse to carry the all digital version of both playstation and xbox. UNLESS they allow cd-key or digital game cards where video game shop gets a cut. Sony has recently stop retailers from selling digital games which could mean that Sony is not going all-out with digitalization.
- Budget-conscious gamers will still want to have the physical disc option.
- 55% of games sold are digital now but it doesn't mean that 55% of gamers are exclusively digital. I would say the overwhelming majority of gamers, especially the casuals, would still want to buy games from their local video game shop where games could be really cheap on sale.
- Blu-ray edition will still allow borrowing of games between friends, cousins, and classmates. The positive word of mouth that this will create will tip the the positive narrative in favor of the PS5.
