It seems that now we are at the threshold of death of the Physical formatat least on the side of Sony.
As you may recall, a report indicated that Sony had asked for voluntary retirements of 250 people from its division CD, DVD y BluRay.
Now in an interview for AV Watch, a representative of the brand confirmed that indeed, these voluntary retirements responded to a new strategy.
Which includes the reduction in the production of storage media in physical format, such as CD, DVD and Blu-ray.

Why is Sony stopping production of CDs, DVDs and BluRays?
According to the own Sonythe decision to put aside the CD, DVD y BluRay corresponds to the lack of growth in sales of physical formats.
They point out that this is partly due to the low Storage capacity of these, since the average only reaches up to 125 GB of memory.
Contrary to cloud storage or mechanical and solid disk storage, which can exceed 8 TB in their commercial versions.
In addition to the fact that consumers currently prefer save backups on the internet (cloud)and not so much on discs such as CD, DVD and Blu-ray.

When will Sony stop producing CDs, DVDs and BluRays?
Sony did not give an exact date for when it will stop producing CDs, DVDs and BluRays, saying it will still remain in business.
The least affected would be the CD y BluRaywhich confirmed that will continue in production indefinitely; no mention was made of DVDs.
On the other hand, they assured that it would be maintained with the Physical format with corporate clients (studios or brands that want to distribute physical formats) and in the film industry.
In that sense, the first impact of the lack of physical format would be seen in the world of music and video gameswhich have abandoned this means of distribution for years.
