I predicted this back before the PSP:Go was even a rumour. I said that a companny would be daft to bring out a digital distribution only console/handheld because retailers wouldn't stock it, unless they could make hundreds of dollars profit on the hardware.

 

They can sell games the same way they sell PSN/XBLA/Wii points cards.

 

I addressed this years ago.I shall tell you the arguments I used and then brag about how right I was :P

If they sell via credit cards only, then retailers get pissed off. Ie what has just happened now :D

If they sell via credit card AND via cards at retailers, I predicted no-one would buy instore. Ie what has happened with Wii Points cards :D

If they sell via cards at retailers only, then this is even less convenient than normal retail systems. So only a fool would do it. And no-one has

 

Win for Scottie
