It's only outdated to the rich families who can afford brand new games for their kids. Excluding discs is a great way to force many out of the market.

I wouldn't say this is always true. Numerous times I've bought digital games from the PS store that were heavily discounted while places like Gamestop were still asking MSRP ($69.99) for new or $10 off for used on a game that came out years prior. I still prefer to own a disc but sometimes digital is cheaper and more convenient.
