President of Sony’s Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida hs told The Guardian that all games on the forthcoming Playstation 4 will be available as digital downloads as well Blu-ray discs
He confirmed that the “PS4 will be similar to PS Vita in that every game will be available as a digital download, and some will also be available as a disc”,while adding that ‘The Witness’ “will be a digital release and because of the flexibility of the digital distribution scheme, we can have more small games that might be free or available for a couple of dollars, or different services like free-to-play or subscription models”.
He continued: As more and more services and contents become available digitally, we’ll have more of an option to create attractive packages. So hypothetically we can look at different models – like a cable TV company. We could have gold, silver or platinum levels of membership, something like that. We can do subscription services when we have more content – especially now that we have the Gaikai technology available. With one subscription you have access to thousands of games – that’s our dream.”
