(Rumor) ps6 will be sonys final console

Not only if the servers die, but if hour console decides to kick the bucket, too, unless there's a recovery method in place.

Too true. Video games are unique in that they require specific technology to use. DVDs and BluRays can be watched on any player and you can still find cheap ones being made, and you can pick up and read physical books without any issue. But if your PS3 kicks the bucket you ain't going to find new consoles that can play your disks in the future.

I like both, digital cause i can pay the dev directly even years after the game comes out (instead of John Doe on eBay) and physical cause it’s just mine no strings attached.

But who knows? Maybe there’ll be digital only but you’ll be able to order a “physical print disc” from the dev or even a brick and mortar game store will print games off for you to buy, instead of devs printing off 250,000 copies and praying they’ll all sell.

Just like happened to Wii, 3DS and Wii U also Xbox 360 and PS3, Digital store was shut down and gaming console is no longer supported by company

Exactly, one of the reasons preservation is necessary.
