Mexico weighs antitrust case against Sony over end of PlayStation discs

Mexican lawmakers plan to file with the National Antitrust Commission against Sony for ending PlayStation disc manufacturing by January 2028, arguing the move could reduce competition, squeeze retailers and the second-hand market, and force consumers to rely on Sony’s digital store; they cite the company’s past content removals as an example of potential monopolistic risk, and note the digital-only path could disadvantage consumers with limited broadband. A petition opposing the shift has gathered nearly 310,000 signatures.
