By getting rid of the physical box, they'll save billions on hardware R&D and also having to reclaim market share with each new generation. It's also easier for developers because they don't have to learn new hardware every 6-7 years. We the gamers won't have to deal with subpar launch games anymore as there will only be one launch. Common issues attributed to console gaming (backwards compatibility, resolution/frame rate, outdated specs, etc) will also be eliminated as games will be scalable and run as well as your hardware can handle. |
As of right now the box is the easiest way into the living room.
