Sony (NYSE: SNE) recently revealed its next-gen gaming console, the PS5, during a livestream event. It didn't announce the price or exact launch date, but revealed its design and some details regarding over two dozen games designed to be played on the console.
The biggest surprise was the reveal of two PS5 consoles -- a standard version with an optical drive for physical games and 4K Blu-ray discs, and a digital edition that lacks an optical drive.
The digital version could be $50 to $100 cheaper and might appeal to gamers who don't buy physical games and media. But it could spell trouble for GameStop (NYSE: GME), the struggling retailer that was counting on disc-based PS5 consoles to boost its holiday sales this year.
