Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kaz Hirai has said we're not as close to a digital only console platform as some might think.

Hirai told MCV that the launch of Sony's digital only handheld, the PSPgo, does not indicate Sony is ready to abandon physical media.

"We do business in parts of the world where network infrastructure isn't as robust as one would hope," he said.

"There's always going to be requirement for a business of our size and scope to have a physical medium.

"To think everything will be downloaded in two years, three years or even ten years from now is taking it a little bit to the extreme."

Well I'm glad they think so, because the last thing I want to see is Final Fantasy cut scenes compressed for download size like it is on Xbox 360 where it looks terrible. It's a shame it took the PSP Go for them to realise this, but it's a lesson learnt.
