I have no idea what this means. They don't make hardware. Maybe they can keep an CD press still running for their own published games, but what about when the PS6 and Nextbox don't include optical drives? Do they start shipping read-only flash media?

Or is it all posturing to get praised?

    is it all posturing

    we still value our physical culture. Rather than completely abandoning that, we are currently challenging ourselves to shift towards being able to think about and act on the important aspects of digital in parallel.

    Yeah. They are challenging themselves to think about the shift.

    It Sony doesn't make disks or the PSwhatever doesn't have a disk drive... Not much to think about.

    It's a good message, but just a message.

    That's exactly what I was thinking. Wouldn't be surprised to see a not to far off future where they obtain the rights to put all the old comics on a paid service while also making any new comics digital exclusive, thus disproving their alleged care for physical media.
