Sony’s next-generation gaming console will reportedly arrive next year. Users of the upcoming system will be able to play games by inserting discs, just like they do with the present-day PlayStation 3. However, Sony executives came very close to limiting the console to downloadable games only. Currently, PS3 users can either buy a physical copy of a game or download games and other digital entertainment content from Sony’s online store without using a disk or cartridge. Because of concerns about the varying quality of Internet service worldwide, however, Sony decided to keep the disk format option.
