121 countries are unable to make PSN accounts, which means that they are unable to use the PlayStation Store. In a digital-exclusive future—which looks likely for the PS6 after Sony announced plans to cease production of game discs in 2028—that means everyone in those countries will be locked out from purchasing titles on the platform.
Why does the article say the EU can’t do anything when this is a literal monopoly? Yes we can’t force Playstation to keep selling disks but forcing them to allow other storefronts on the system sounds very achievable to me.
