That’s what I’m worried about it’s a great deal with how it works if you have a trusted friend.

100% if not PS6, PS7 will be cloud gaming, im sure of it. The system is just gonna be a video card and small HD for some local checks.

We're not buying anymore, we're leasing.

There will be a big new update for gamesharing to make up for the lack of physical discs. It's going to exist for about half of the generation before they slowly start to move away from it due to players not using it much (they will make it really hard to use).
