According to Circana, the physical market has halved in the past three years, and potential US tariffs on Mexico aren't going to help the physical game market. The longer it takes Sony to release a PS6, the less likely it is that it will have a disc drive.
The physical market is basically in terminal decline. It would make much more sense for Sony to go with a separate drive addon if they are even willing to consider support discs for the PS6.
