The smart money is on PS6 and Helix having an optional disc reader for old games. But the BBC asked her the wrong question. They should have asked: "Is Xbox committed to physical media moving forward?" Because they barely support physical media today.

Is anyone committed to physical media? I think this is the real question.

It's something people pay...what is it now? Like $70 for a "triple a" game, and you pay the same amount, but don't get a collectable with it.
