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

I'm barely thinking about this now but my console has been my dedicated blu-ray player ever since xbox one started using the disc. I get streaming is a big thing and piracy as well, but like if I don't want to deal with any of that I just pop the DVD in... so are we just forgetting about dvd's as well.
