PlayStation Digital Blackout Protest Fails to Impact Sony's Growth

• Sony announced the discontinuation of physical media for PlayStation games, leading to a player protest in August.
• Despite the protest, Sony reported a seven percent year-on-year growth in monthly active users, reaching 127 million in September 2026.
• Sony's Q2 2026 financial results showed increased revenue and record player numbers, indicating the boycott had no significant impact.
• The boycott included chants of 'no disc, no buy' on social media, but did not deter Sony's growth trajectory.
• Sony's success in Q2 2026 was partly attributed to the popularity of Marvel's Wolverine.
