PlayStation is "hearing the feedback from customers" on discs, says JRPG boss

Despite a very vocal backlash, Sony has no apparent plans to backtrack on its decision to end physical PlayStation discs in 2028. But maybe things aren't quite as set in stone as they seem – at least, that's what I want to tell myself as I read recent quotes from Kenzo Saruhashi, president of Nippon Ichi Software, who offers a bit of hope that Sony's decision isn't final.

"In our discussions with Sony so far," Saruhashi tells Kotaku, "I think that they're hearing a lot of the feedback from customers and so while that may be one destination that we arrive at, it's possible that the discussion may change in the future, so we'll have to see what happens, what comes of it."

Saruhashi made these comments earlier this month at PAX West, and they're now being published amid other rumors about Sony's disc plans. As Eurogamer reports, YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead recently suggested that Sony is now surveying its developers about the decision to end discs. This report is unsubstantiated, but combined with Saruhashi's comments, it's starting to feel at least possible that Sony might be having second thoughts about discs.

NIS is known for the tactical RPG series Disgaea and other niche favorites with devoted followings among the most hardcore JRPG fans. Its subsidiary, NIS America handles global publishing duties for a wide array of notable JRPGs, including beloved series like Ys and Trails. NISA often puts these games out in deluxe collector's editions that might be a lot more difficult to sell without an actual game included.
