PlayStation founder Ken Kutaragi says discs became "metaphor for 'owning' games", and that upset at their discontinuation is a "mentality issue" (www.eurogamer.net)

I think he's correct that it's a mentality issue: but the issue is with Sony's mentality, not the consumer. If the PlayStation store operated like gog.com there wouldn't be as much of an issue.

I think he also underestimates the advantages of a separate disk per game, especially when he mentions hardware prices in the same breath...

Correct, thats what I thought as well.
