    What people don’t understand. Yes people buy digital games but which one. Games like Sekiro, Rdr2, god of war have Steelbook a or a fanbase which wants disc versions. Digital games are indie games or games people buy months/years later or not ambitious games. Yes this rule changes from country to country but all digital is less choice and opportunity. You want to buy Rdr2 for 40€ 2 weeks after release? Soooo nope, you have to wait til Microsoft allows a sale. It’s pretty dumb to go full digital. For me: for lazy people which pay always the max price without carrying much or casuals which don’t really love gaming ?‍♂️ The price drop is not relevant enough to be a must have. Disc drives are not too expensive to made. For 40-50 bucks you loose the opportunity to share your game without account sharing, selling the game or buying it used and you can’t forget bluerays which have often superb sales and better quality than streams ?‍♂️ The 40-50€ are not worth the negatives. Spotify for example is something completely different. It will cost too much to buy everything you like.

    Talking about the ISP infrastructure being able to support it is irrelevant. I think you’re confusing digital download and streaming.

    Maybe this could be for people that prefer the Xbox apps over it’s games. I have friends that choose Xbox for that reason.

    The main reason people are buying digital now is that developers are forcing consumers to do it by the 80 GB day one patches rendering physical discs worthless.  Basically, developers are using a backdoor form of DRM this generation.  So, these stats where people are loving the digital future are VERY misleading. Most of the digital sales are from the 80% off games on PSN/XBOX Live/ & Steam.  I still think; given the option, people would prefer to buy a FINISHED game physically.

    Something not touched upon: the inability to ‘trade games in’ in order to save money on future games (or whatever other reason!)

    WERE Microsoft to go ‘discless’ only ?|?with their next-gen console they would risk alienating a portion of their consumer base.

    This console is completely pointless because it is the same price as the current Xbox one S with the disc drive. If you want an Xbox one S that is all digital just get the original system with the drive that way you have the option of physical media. with the all digital edition you are literally paying the same price for less

    Technically, wouldn’t a regular Xbox also be “all digital”? Because whether you insert a game, a dvd, or a blu-ray, they all contain digital information. It’s not like you can stick an analog vinyl record in the machine.
