According to the Wall Street Journal, Sony âconsidered but ultimately rejectedâ plans to make its next home console â code-named Orbis â a download-only device.

The fact it even thought about such a move shows not only how far digital delivery has come in the six years since the PS3 first launched, but also shows just how little Sony really gives a damn about people who rely entirely on the sale of boxed, used video games.
Compared to a console that doesnât even have a disc drive, word that the Orbis will feature some kind of used games protection service (likely in a form that requires a paid unlock) seems downright charitable of Sony.
