How does Jacob Navok explain the link between PlayStation disc phaseout and potential lower PS Store prices?

Navok argues that current PS Store prices are anchored to physical retail pricing, so if discs disappear publishers will compete directly on the PS Store and drive prices down similar to Steam. He points to Final Fantasy XVI's falling Steam price as an example and emphasizes that publishers, not Sony, set PS Store prices, while competition between storefronts mainly changes developer revenue rather than consumer prices. He also admits this outcome is speculative. Answered

What counterarguments or data does the article give that suggest digital prices might remain higher without discs?

The article cites a Dutch lawsuit finding digital PlayStation games cost on average 47% more than the same game on disc, which implies removing discs could leave prices higher. It also notes that Steam-style discount culture has not emerged strongly on PSN or the Nintendo eShop despite most console sales already being digital, and that Navok himself admits his view is speculative and that storefront competition often affects developer revenue shares rather than consumer prices.
