Sony’s Andrew House has said all physical games for NGP will be made available simultaneously in digital form at release. Speaking with MCV UK, Sony Europe boss Andrew House said that every NGP game that hit store shelves would have a downloadable counterpart. “One thing we [learned] from PSP, is that we want to have simultaneous delivery in digital and physical for NGP,” said House. “Just to clarify that, all games that appear physically will be made available digitally.”

The emphasis on having a strong digital game distribution means that there will be a hierarchy of games. Big high-end premium games are likely still to be purchased mostly in physical form, but lighter more experimental games are more likely to be downloaded digitally.
