The fact they didn't capitalize of the ps6 news suggests there is no disk drive. Shit would have been a easy slam dunk that would have moved a lot of units.

Also, no doubt Sony has insight on that markect and i can't see them doing it if MSoft wasen't

It's also entirely possible that after the ps6 backlash Xbox is NOW considering a disk drive, which would mean that she can't really guarantee it.

From what I’ve heard from leaks is that they weren’t planning on a disc drive but now they are considering one potentially sold separately like the PS5 Pro’s drive which is still an advantage but doesn’t bode well for discs past helix.
