Sony's vinyl promo sparks backlash over end of PS5 discs
Sony drew criticism after promoting a vinyl turntable, with gamers arguing the move hypocritically contrasts its plan to wind down PS5 disc production by 2028. Sony maintains that physical PS5 discs will remain for older releases and notes vinyl demand has grown independently, but fans say the demand for physical game media will persist. Some insiders see a potential compromise for collectors, while the incident highlights tensions between digital, disc, and analog formats across entertainment.
